I wish when they say it 'isn't likely he'll win the state' they'd say that there is a 15% threshold for delegates, so it is UBER IMPORTANT his supporters turn out. I sure hope the campaign will say so at his rallies! Otherwise ordinary, non-political junkie people won't bother to vote, even if they like him best.

The "he can't win" meme has a had ALOT to do with him actually not winning

Exactly. Even worse, in Michigan they are just saying he and Gingrich are 'behind' and pretend he isn't even campaigning there on the Fox write up I saw. Whereas in reality he can ONLY get delegates if he gets 15%. They are trying to have people thinking votes only are important for Santorum or Romney.
