I think Romney will have 51% at the convention. I think the later primaries go back to winner take all. (After April 1?)

Keep in mind that the party establishment does get to vote along the way... with money. It seems possible to likely that only Romney will have the cash for super Tuesday and the big winner take all days beyond then.
