In going over the list of the remaining states I have reviewed the Green Papers website as to the rules for choosing delegates in each state and have taken a conservative (cautious) approach. Mitt Romney will probable win many more delegates but this is almost a worst case scenario for him.As more Conservatives come to the conclusion Romney will be our nominee, and has the best chance of beating President Obama, I predict some states where Santorum is projected with a majority will tilt to Romney in May and June.
