Nomination Math Now Impossible for Romney
Since John McCain will receive 95% of California's delegates, he has amassed such a delegate lead that it becomes virtually impossible for Mitt Romney to gain the nomination. McCain adviser Charlie Black lays out the reality:
Speaking with reporters today, McCain adviser Charlie Black said, "To date, we have 775 delegates, Romney has 284, Huckabee has 205. It takes 1,191 to clinch the nomination. There are 963 left to be chosen, so Romney or Huckabee would have to have all of them -- all of them -- to get to 1,191. Now you can't do that because a majority of those 963 are chosen in proportional primaries, which means you'd have to get 100% if the vote to get them all."It's virtually impossible for Romney or Huckabee to be the nominee just based on the arithmetic," Black added. "I see it as virtually impossible. I'm superstitious like my boss, I don't want to say anything's impossible, but it's virtually impossible on the arithmetic."

This is a ridiculous comment.Certainly Romney and Huckabee can't get to 1191 but that doesn't mean McCain has it wrapped up, this is a 3 way race, it's quite possible that NONE of them get 1191 before the convention.
Keep going for a brokered convention. Then we might actually be able to choose a candidate everyone can actually get behind.
Neither McCain, Romney or Huckabee will unite the party.
