I don't see how Romney loses the primary

Romney did well with "conservatives." He didn't do great with independents. He lost them to Ron Paul. But Ron Paul isn't serious competition. Unless something seriously unexpected happens, I think this is a done deal. Does anyone see a scenario where Romney loses the primary?

I recall that at one point you were speculating that Romney might have a hard time in NH. That obviously didn't happen and thus, as you acknowledged, the race is all but over at this point.
