My bet for how it plays out (now that the "Stand Your Ground" tragedy in Florida has rendered Jeb toxic this go round, ending the chance he would be snuck in as nominee at the GOP Convention in Tampa) is that Santorum, Gingrich, and Paul stay in the race to the bitter end, since Romney can't seal the deal, robbing Romney of the number of delegates he needs to arrive the convention as anointed nominee. So once at the Convention, Romney, thinking he is about to be screwed out of his chance to run against Obama, will start engaging in the kind of sleazy backroom, corporate boy dealings, that will alienate everyone he comes in contact with. Then, if Mitt has strong-armed enough people into giving him the nomination, the hard feelings will lead to the conservative wing of the GOP bolting from the party and running their own candidates on a third party ticket.
I view this as a plausible scenario under the circumstances.
