In order to continue and remain a viable candidate for the GOP nomination, this is what to look for tonight…
John McCain: He has to win his home state of Arizona, plus New York and New Jersey. Any victories beyond that are just gravy. If he wins Connecticut, Delaware, and at least one Southern state this is probably all over with.
Mitt Romney: He’s got to score three key wins to stay really viable tonight. He has to win California, Missouri, and Georgia. Plus his home state of Massachusetts. Even then he’ll still be behind McCain, but at least he’ll have some reason to continue on.
Mike Huckabee: He’s got to sweep Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia tonight… plus win delegates in Missouri and the caucus states. And even then he’ll still be a long-shot. Odds are, he’s just trying to defeat Romney right now so he can throw his weight to McCain and become the VP.

How about Ron Paul, Austin? Its clear that your refusal to list Paul’s 0.00000000001% chance of winning the election is evidence of your bias. You are just part of the neo-con,-Jew-Straussian-Greenback-Federal-Reserve-Protocols-of-the-Elders-of-Zion-anti-Gold-Standard-Israel-lobby-banker alliance against America. Its time you smelled the coffee, mister.

The Republican party would rather lose than nominate Ron Paul. It’s rather foolish and sad. 70% of the American people oppose the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Of the 30% who support the wars, half of them are just toeing the party line. With the democrats voting in droves there is no way pro war Romney/McCain/Huckabee will win the general election. Yet their supporters are arguing over who is wasting votes on who. Why fight over whom the eventual loser will be? Can anybody say INSANITY? The republican party is so out of touch with itself and the people. Was the neoconservative philosophy really worth embracing. Bye Bye Republic… hello USSA… Thanks for trying Dr. Paul but Rome taught us nothing.

Marvin,
There’s a candidate out there that supports getting the U.S. out of Iraq and that is Barack Obama. Do you think that Paul supporters would vote for Obama for President?
