1. Not likely. I'm pretty sure Mitt will be the nominee

It's good that we are defining him, of course. But I don't see him dropping out or some 'white knight' coming to the rescue. Despite all of this he continues to be 3-4 points down in most polls. Heck, Carter was 25 points down prior to the Dem convention in 1980 and he was nominated over Kennedy. Ford was 30 points down against Carter in 1976 prior to his convention and they still nominated him over Reagan. Unless Romney totally collapses in the polls or they find something criminal he will be the nominee.

Please. Could we stop with this nonsense? Even now, Romney has about a 40% chance of winning, Nye Bevan Jul 2012 #12
