12. It'll Boil Down To The Super Delegates...

What is rarely mentioned is that the delegates selected in the caucuses and primaries are a minority of the overall delegates. It's the "party regulars" that will get the ultimate say here. So far many of those delegates haven't committed and many may remain uncommitted until the convention, then throw their support to Rmoney to put him over the top. The problem for the "movement conservatives" is they didn't fall behind one candidate and then there are the Paulbots who is taking delegates away from Rectorum and Noooooot and not Millard.

While Citizens United can keep candidates alive longer in the primaries its still not a done deal on how much affect they'll have on the convention and thus even if Mittens loses Michigan and/or Arizona, he'll still gain delegates and will probably walk into the convention with the most delegates...
