The networks have called it. The outstanding votes are from overwhelming McCain areas

If we end up without a brokered convention, I hope there is plan B. I can think of a few options. I'm sure others can as well. Even if it's simply to show 'no confidence' in McCain.

We need to rack up as many delegates as possible, even if they would be bound to another candidate. Delegates have more impact at the convention than just nominating a pres candidate

So he needs 400 more delegates out of the 1139 remaining delegates? Of that 1139, 241 are uncommitted from states that have already voted?

So he needs to get 35% of the remaining 1139?

Is there a possibility that those numbers good be too generous in his favor?

What if we organize a revolt of the delegates... like the tea party, only we toss the GOP overboard. If you can't think outside of the box, you probably can't swim either.

Yes, your numbers are correct. These numbers are very close to being correct. Most of McCains unpledged delegates are party leaders that will vote with their state, and the one's from az that will almost all go for McCain, if not all.
