Sarah Palin said a while back that this would be an unconventional election....a brokered convention would certainly fit that description.

Newt knows Romney would not be best to take the lead at such a time as this. I heard Michelle Malkin on Fox this morning on Fox and Friends. They asked her if it is time for Newt and Santorum to get out of the race and support Romney. Malkin said no. Not until one of them gets all the needed delegates. She pointed out that Ron Paul is not getting out. I have been watching for Fox to post the video of her saying this but it is taking them a while to post the interview. I hope they are not trying to edit out that part but it sure is taking them a long time to post the interview.

There won’t be a brokered convention. Romney has to only get 581 delegates. He will win over 470 just in winner take all states left that favor him. I only used bound delegates in those states to get to the 470.

Put that with shares of the delegates from proportional states left and he will probably get the nomination.

Santorum needs over 800 and Newt needs over a 1000.

I guess it never hurts for all of them to try as long as they have the bucks.

It’s looking like a second ballot. That should be a spectacle to see.

Someone needs to ask Newt who is going to ‘emerge’? Who is going to come save the republican party before it makes the biggest embarrassment of itself than it has in ages?

Don’t tell me this is going to be another ‘game change’ moment (barf).

Speaker Gingrich is a candidate AND champion
unlike the chameleon backstabbing Liberal Romney.

FLASHBACK:

The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++4 to 10 pts
in some polls, days prior to Election 2008.
So rather than helping the GOP, Romney and
TeamROMNEY and the RNME (Republican National Media Establishment)
decided …to attack Gov. Palin to throw Election2008.

Romney, and the Van der Sloot RNME RINOs for Obama in 2008

Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."

---

The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.

"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."

"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."

"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"
