I heard Rick`s only goal is to deny Mitt enough delegates for an outright win before the Aug. convention.[:D]
Go Rick!
Nope. That's his primary goal. His secondary goal is to somehow convince the power that be that he's a better candidate than Romney and get the nomination on the second ballot. If his sole goal was to deny Romney, he wouldn't be asking Gingrich to drop out. If Gingrich DID drop out, the lion's share would go to him, but a fair percentage would go to Romney as well, increasing the chance that Romney will win outright.
Santorum's delusional if he thinks he has a chance in a brokered convention. He's assuming he'll utter the magic incantation "true conservative" and all the delegates will swoon. In actual fact, the PTB is terrified of a Satorum ticket because they know that the resulting Dem landslide will have enough of a coattail effect to hurt the GOP in Congress. There'll be tremendous pressure on delegates to commit to Romney, and it will be blogged and tweeted and fray the GOP's fabric.
