Stephanopoulos: Santorum may need an actual act of God to force a brokered convention

From ABC's George Stephanopoulos:

But to do it, Santorum would have to basically sweep all the big states left:

Illinois next week. (And even that win might not get him most of the delegates because Santorum’s off the ballot in a few districts.)

Then he needs upsets in Wisconsin and Maryland on April 3rd – plus a sweep of New York and Pennsylvania at the end of the month.

In May, he’d need to win big on the 8th: Indiana, West Virginia and North Carolina – and hope that gives him enough momentum to win three of the five contests on June 5th. One of those wins would have to be either New Jersey or California.

All that would cripple Romney heading to Tampa. Is it likely? Not really, but not impossible either.
