Back again-------------I have missed the recent election figures so checked in a few minutes ago.

I will support the nominees who are confirmed at the GOP National Convention.

Notice in this short list from the net that the only big win for Romney was in D.C.

With the exception of D.C. Romney's % of the voters voting for him remained less than 50% of the Republican voters participating.

Now with that observation-----------I believe we have every reason in the world for the Independents and Conservatives to stay in the race through to the convention. Why?

By staying in they influence the whole picture---------------there is a Vice President to be named--------- this is where the influence of the tea party and of those who did not vote for Romney can be significant in choosing a Vice President Candidate if Romney is confirmed as the nominee for President.

The bottom line is that the VP must be someone who can bring in the votes that Romney may not be able to bring in. .

That is where Gingrich, Paul, Santorum have power--------------as they represent all together about 50% of the Republican vote numbers in the primaries. They have influence in who will be the VP nominee for a winning ticket. I hope that they will use that power as conservatives have in other elecitons.

Again the article is a "Democrat Talking Point style Article" --------it is not believable. Propaganda style politics. jmho mj
