My prediction: Romney clinches the nom, but only after the California primary, which I believe is quite late in the season, like June or something. He then scrambles to find a VP that will offset his "Mormon-ness" in a desperate attempt to keep the evangelical Christians on board. (You already see this paranoid crap in one of the primaries, I forget which state, where they were making people sign a "loyalty oath" to support whoever the party nominates even if you don't personally support them.) In one of the strangest partnerships in politics since Caligula and his horse, he signs up Mike Huckabee to be his running mate. (The whole thing comes crashing down, of course, when it is revealed in late September that Huckabbe maintains a secret life in Key West as a drag queen named "Helena Handbasket.")
