With a total of 1,144 delegates. Romney leads with 361 delegates. Santorum in second place trails Romney with a total of 112 delegates; Gingrich has garnered 80 and Ron Paul 24. Just under half the delegates still remain in the race for the Republican nomination, and Ron Paul has little chance of a victory.
Ham on Wry wrote an earlier post about Ron Paul and believes he is the only one of the four that has stated his position clearly without wavering. He might gain traction by running as an independent because it's clear that none of the Republican hopefuls have overwhelming support. This blog predicts that Paul will drop out of the race by tomorrow.
None of the nominees seem to grasp the importance that global issues should take on the political stage, instead opting for attacks on one another and spending time on social issues that have no place on their platforms. What a disappointing lot! If this is the best the Republicans have to offer, it clearly illustrates a party divided and in disarray. All the better for President Obama.
