Nothing but Mitt

Going in to Nebraska, Ron Paul had one last chance to secure a 5th state win, thus qualifying to be nominated at the GOP convention next month. Paul fought hard, but in the end there was just no game left. He scored only 2 of 35 delegates, and Romney's forces dominated the court.

Romney advances alone.

I was hoping for a brokered convention. I thought for sure after this week Rmoney would have lost a lot of delegates.

maybe RoPaul will launch a third party campaign? Does the Libertarian candidate have a VP picked yet? Maybe they could be co-presidents. That's a perfectly libertarian game to play...
