The anyone but Romney coalition is down one member withy Rick Santorum's withdrawal. Romney is not the immediate beneficiary it seems. According to reports, Ron Paul will now win the MIssouri Caucus:


"Ron Paul won the all of the delegates for the second and third congressional districts in St. Charles County during the redo of the 2012 republican caucus Tuesday night.


About 903 registered voters attended the event with Ron Paul supporters outnumbering the others.


Paul swept the caucus, taking all 59 delegate seats in Congressional District 2 and 88 seats in Congressional District 3. Those delegates will go onto the Congressional District Caucuses April 21...


Paul also won all of the alternate Delegate slots...


Paul also won the state delegates as well..." (Source)




So, it appears, that Ron Paul is set up as the next Republican, anti-Romney vote recipient. The coalition continues, with Ron Paul as the leader. Whether or not he remains loyal to his devoted followers by staying in the race until the Republican convention, or cuts a deal, is something we will be keeping an eye on.


If he stays in the race, he will be a powerful force at the Convention, which still could deny Romney the Republican nomination for President. Ron Paul's campaign had this to say about Santorum's withdrawal:


“Congratulations to Senator Santorum on running such a spirited campaign. Dr. Paul is now the last – and real – conservative alternative to Mitt Romney. We plan to continue running hard, secure delegates, and press the fight for limited, constitutional government in Tampa.” — National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton (Source)




The Group Mormon Reform issued the following statement:


"Before anyone votes for Mitt Romney they need to consider that a serious group of American Citizens are determined to see him and the Leadership of the Mormon Church investigated for highly suspect financial transactions." The group will not be making any political endorsements the statement says. Their website can be found here.


According to an online petition sponsored by the group, and posted on April 8th:


"The Assets of Beneficial Life, another Church Mormon Church Asset, also appears to have been plundered through the use of subprime mortages and derivatives that may involve Ensign Peak Advisors, Mitt Romney, Bain Capital and Leaders of the Mormon Church."
