I have a quick question for you guys--how many delegates, total are up for grabs on March 4th?
I know that Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Vermont have their primaries on those days. Are all 3 "winner takes all"?
If the total delegate is at, or above 273, the nominee for the GOP could be decided that day. McCain currently has 918 delegates, and he only needs 1,191 to "get the nomination", which would effectively give him over 50% of the delegates.
It's a terrifying idea, but it could be decided on March 4th, if McCain gets all 4 States.
On the flip-side...if it is decided on March 4th, it'll likely turn it into a 2-horse race, with the only two GOP candidates left being McCain and Paul.
An even bigger mystery--will Hillary pull some tricks out of the hat and trump Obama, or not?
