Mitt, After Tonight
I think Romney can win California tonight and some other states, including his adopted Massachusetts, and keep this thing going.
But if he gets whacked and can't keep on keeping on, what next? He won't be McCain's veep because of the contempt levels between them and he's unlikely to bring a state along with him. Romney could become a conservative leader, an effective leader of the Republicans if McCain loses this fall. The conservative movement is in disarray and with money and notoriety, he'd be in good shape to be a party leader after this fall and maybe even run again. After all, if Obama or Clinton were to win this fall, the beleaguered Congressional Republicans are going to look pretty beaten up and Romney, who goes into Super Tuesday as an underdog, could come out on top of a beaten up party. But, obviously, we're a long way from that. I just don't think this guy is going to fade no matter what happens with him versus McCain.
