What ever it takes to get a Conservative as President.

No, I expect Newt to arrive with over 50%.
Romney and Paul each under 25%.
Santorum will likely bag it after Florida.

It would be weird to see Romney and Newt with 35% of the dels, Santorum with 20%, and "Roswell" Paul with 10% of the dels, and have the brokered convention...

Then, all bets are off

No. I am a Santorum supporter who will support Newt if he s better positioned to beat Romney. Paul will not win a single state except maybe VA.

IF Newt stumbled or had a serious new scandal support would go to Santorum. If individual governors want to run as favorite sons to act as brokers at hw convention, they better act soon. I predict they won’t, lest they expose their own inability to control the votes.

We haven’t even had the third primary/caucus yet, and people are already talking about a brokered convention?

Calm down, people.

The writer must think it is 1960. It is impossible for a modern political convention to be brokered. Modern day political conventions are three day infomercials for the parties, nothing more.

Frankly, considering the vitriol that has been directed at each of the remaining 4 candidates--not only by the other candidates, but more significantly perhaps by the committed supporters of the others, a brokered convention where the supporters of Romney, Gingrich, Paul & Santorum might all come to accept someone like Paul Ryan, or the Governor of Virginia, or Senator Rubio, would make a lot of sense.

One obvious reason: Such a result would take away the Obamanist's ability to run recordings of the present candidates lambasting one another. For another, it would offer a more youthful look. Finally, the three individuals, mentioned, are clearly more Conservative than Romney, Gingrich or Santorum.

A brokered convention is the last refuge of sour grapes.
