Can you say.. "Brokered Convention"?

[denbot]

Rmoney is getting no love from his party on this Bain/tax issue. I'm wondering if this is a poison pill for his campaign, and the GOP is hunkering down to see if they can find a savior at the convention.

Either way.. I'm loving it!!!

1. Jeb can't run ,right ?

4. Jeb's too smart.

He'll pass on this shit sandwich until 2016. I would think the preferred sacrifice would be an overly ambitious and not too bright second stringer.

Someone good enough to preserve the down line candidates, and possibly pull off a miracle.

Smart contenders will likely see that this election is almost impossible, especially starting a campaign with 5 weeks left before a general election.

7. There was an interview with Jeb a while back where he clearly stated he's not running.

2. What else is up Obama's sleeve?

I just hope that the Obama campaign is holding back the really good dirt until after the convention and when it's too close to the election for the GOP to switch candidates.

3. Look for Ron Paul delegates

to stir up a hornets nest at the GOP convention!

5. The Paulbots are key to clearing the slate come August..

They will be the key to forcing a brokered convention.

9. And the tax-gate

Happened right before the Nebraska Primary . . .paul has a plurality in 4 states . . . If he gets Nebraska tonight - he gets to have his name entered at the Convention. He only needs five.

Let the games begin.

10. I recently read "Destiny of the Republic" by Candice Millard,

and her description of the the contentious 1880 Republican convention was just amazing.

At an exhausting point when more than 30 ballots had been cast, Garfield rose to speak out against the chaotic “human ocean in tempest” he was witnessing. He injected a voice of reason. “I have seen the sea lashed into fury and tossed into spray, and its grandeur moves the soul of the dullest man,” he said. “But I remember that it is not the billows, but the calm level of the sea, from which all heights and depths are measured.”

Delegates began unexpectedly throwing their votes to Garfield. He had not been a presidential candidate; now suddenly he was the Republican nominee. When he and his family were swept into the White House, Garfield wrote: “My God! What is there in this place that a man should ever want to get into it?”

Of course, today's Republicans don't show a lot of ability at listening to reason, but history could repeat itself this year.

It was a great read by the way...

12. Can you say,,"Blood on the floor?"

and hard feelings all around. These are folks who do not play well with others.

13. No, Romney will be the nominee. He has the delegates and they will vote for him.

brokered conventions are a thing of the past.
