Some quick GOP math

As mentioned previously, it takes 1191 delegates to win the GOP nomination. So far, by my count, 1207 delegates have been selected, meaning there are 1173 still to go. This means that in order to win, Mike Huckabee would have to win all but 176 of the remaining delegates. Romney needs all but 261 of the remaining delegates to win.

Saturday's and Tuesday's elections probably won't eliminate anyone mathematically, but it's likely at least one of those two will find himself needing to win just about every remaining delegate in every remaining state - not a likely prospect.

Edit: It looks like Romney is pulling out.
