BLITZER'S BLOG: What to expect at a contested convention
(CNN) - Mitt Romney may be in the driver's seat right now but there is still a chance he won't be able to amass the 1,144 delegates needed to win the Republican presidential nomination before the party convention in Tampa at the end of August.
If he comes up short, there could be a contested convention. That means the delegates actually would have to vote on the convention floor for the nominee.

BLITZER'S BLOG: Millions have already spoken
(CNN) – Even though the pundits and the headlines say Mitt Romney is only limping towards the delegates he needs, when you look at the popular vote the lines are a little more clearly drawn.

(CNN) – I’m skeptical that the Israelis are getting ready to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities. In the end, they might do it. But I suspect they are not yet ready to do so anytime soon.
That’s because they are talking so much about it. If they were really ready to move their F-15s and F-16s and their submarine-launched missiles against targets in Iran, they would be a lot more quiet.

BLITZER'S BLOG: Will Michigan voters swing in Romney’s favor?

BLITZER'S BLOG: Is it wise to keep spending billions in Afghanistan?
(CNN) - It's hard to believe but American taxpayers are still shelling out $2 billion a week in Afghanistan. That adds up to more than $100 billion a year.
Maintaining a U.S. military presence in Afghanistan of nearly 100,000 U.S. troops is certainly not cheap.

(CNN) – If you think it’s been a rough ride for the Republican candidates during this current campaign season, just wait. This will be seen as child’s play once the general election campaign begins.
