The whole brokered convention stuff is a perfect storm of fantasies by three groups that normally are opposed to each other.
1) Of course this one is from a Libertarian propaganda site.
2) The second group of fantasizers are people that hate Romney.
3) The third, and by far most important group has been the MSM media. They’ve vomited countless electrons writing about a brokered convention because:
a) They are bored silly by modern conventions and have a fantasy of reporting on smoke-filled rooms that they’ve read about in history books.
b) They’re leftists and want to see R campaign money blown on ALL of the primaries up until the end, weakening the R candidate.
c) They fantasize about a a weird/too far to the right candidate getting the nomination that is unelectable.
When you combine that many fantasies, you end up with the “Brokered Convention” nonsense.
This is similar to the “Myth of Heterosexual AIDS.” You both had AIDS and Gay Activists promoting the idea that ANYONE can get AIDS, in hopes of getting more funding, AND social conservatives loved being able to tell people that if they had sex with more than one person in their life they would die of AIDS.
