I'm wondering why, if Romney is so selfless, he hasn't offered his delegates to McCain.
He could be and probably is hanging on to the delegates for a couple of reasons.
1. Huckebee might have a strong showing and McCain won't get enough to win although it isn't likely.
2. He has some clout at the convention by hanging on to them until then. He can affect the writing of the rules and the party platform by threatening to keep his delegates if he doesn't get certain concessions.
By the time the vote roles around, he will have released his delegates for a unanimous vote for McCain at the convention. This isn't about being selfless. It is about positioning Romney for a future run.
