Raw-Money mimics Obama's "election strategy" to capture most delegates.

So if Mr. RawMoney wants to be my President so bad, he needs to do some "splainin'
as to how it is that he hates Obama so much on the surface (just i case some TeaBagger
is watching) that he cannot hide the fact that he recognizes that Obama is not going
to just "Wilt away" under bogus incendiary rhetoric of the GOP. Obama's a born fighter,
who has already arguably generated more genuine benefit to our nation in 3 years, than
Bush Jr. could only dream of doing in 8.

Romney Traces Obama’s Path on Delegates
By MICHAEL D. SHEAR
Published: March 3, 2012

WASHINGTON — The first phase of the 2012 Republican presidential campaign, ending
with the 10 states that vote this week on Super Tuesday, has been about money and
message. The next several months will be about maps and math.

Having failed to secure the nomination in the first two months of voting, Mitt Romney
is turning in earnest, his aides say, to the playbook of slow-but-sure delegate accumulation
written by none other than the man he wants to replace in the White House.

Like the team that engineered President Obama’s victory in 2008, Mr. Romney’s lawyers
and strategists say they have devised an approach to the second half of the primary
campaign intended to ensure that he methodically amasses the 1,144 delegates
necessary to win the nomination, staying ahead of his rivals in that count even if they
win the popular vote in some states.

On Tuesday, that strategy revolves around Virginia, where the failure of Rick Santorum
and Newt Gingrich to appear on the ballot gives Mr. Romney a good chance of winning
all of the state’s 49 delegates. He is also expected to pick up most of the 41 delegates
n Massachusetts, where he served as governor.
