    If things stand the same, Mitt will clean house in California.

    Illinois, I believe that things will get better for Mitt from here on out. I am also wondering if T-Paw has thrown in the towel and is going to stand behind Mitt since he is going to his book signing in April when Mitt goes to Minn. He may have realized that Mitt has too strong of an infrastructure to attempt a run against him.
