It seems Mitt pulls it out in Illinois, but do we really care? It has been a forgone conclusion since Super Tuesday, he was the unwanted frontrunner, who as far as numbers go, is gonna clinch the nomination. There were 54 delegates up for grabs today in Illinois. Romney had a total of 521 delegates coming in to the state, the closest to him being Santorum with 253 delegates. It is clearly looking like a definite road to victory for Mitt, needing a total of 1,144 to capture the Republican nomination. Just one thing...his fellow nominees got other plans...to continue trying to pick up delegates, regardless of how hopeless their chances look in the race. The goal to prevent Romney from having the total 1,144 before the party's convention in the coming summer, and cause a contested nomination! This could only work wonders for the Obama camp. A divided republican party, especially in a presidential election, is a godsend for democrats.
