Mitt Romney's campaign team sent supporters a post-Super Tuesday update on the GOP delegate race, arguing that the other three Republican candidates are ignoring the "basic principles of math."

Here's the email from Romney Political Director Rich Beeson:

=

Wins in Ohio, Virginia, Massachusetts, Idaho, Vermont, and Alaska. 1.4 million votes. 205 delegates.

That's what a great Super Tuesday looks like.

After winning 6 states yesterday, Mitt has now won 11 of the last 15 races. And in the important battle for delegates, Mitt now has more than twice as many as Rick Santorum and four times more than Newt Gingrich.

And looking at the schedule ahead, the delegate math just doesn't add up for anyone but Mitt. Here are a few reasons why:

• There's only one Super Tuesday. Yesterday was the other candidates' only real chance to stage any real comeback in the delegate race.
• Only four of the remaining 34 state contests award their statewide delegates on a winner-take-all basis. And those four contests are all favorable for Mitt: Utah, New Jersey, Washington D.C., and Delaware.
• Before Super Tuesday, nearly half of all contests were caucuses, but only seven of the remaining 34 contests are caucuses. Primaries require a strong national organization that Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich simply don't have.

As the other candidates attempt to ignore the basic principles of math, the only person's odds of winning they are increasing are Barack Obama's.
 
Mitt is on the path to becoming the Republican nominee. And because of your votes and support, yesterday put him that much closer.
 
Thanks for your continued support.
