147 Degrees West (@147DW) has done a wonderful job of putting together the success rate of nominees wrought from a brokered convention. The conclusion: Odds of Beating Obama Are Better By Dumping Mitt.
Many automatically assume that Mitt Romney is the presumptive nominee of the Republican party, and that the Tampa convention will end up being nothing more than a Guthy-Renker Romney infomercial.
That will be news to the Lawyers for Ron Paul who have filed a little covered Federal, civil rights lawsuit, against the GOP and many state GOP parties for election fraud on behalf of the Romney campaign. And yes; although it's no where near the extent of fraud conducted by the Obama campaign in 2008 (or even this year), it has occurred blatantly. In many states including Maine, Missouri, Massachusetts, Oklahoma (and even Puerto Rico) votes went unrecorded or delegates were excluded from caucuses.

Oh, I’m sure he’ll probably get most of their votes, owing to their stances. But I have yet to witness a single shred of enthusiasm FOR him. It’s almost surreal.
So does that mean you’ll vote for more of the same? You sound confused about the choices. There are only Two, it’s not that difficult really
So, you’re going to vote for Obama
Problem is the nation needs an underdog, a hero, a come up from behind with hopeless odds of winning type of a candidate
You and the scarecrow have the same need
Go back to wherever you crawled out of in April.
If you don’t want any moral victories, then you shouldn’t be surprised to always remain a slave.
Spoken like a true twit.
It has nothing to do with his being a mormon.The fact he is a flaming liberal which you fail to mention says all we want to know about you pal.
Hear hear!!!!!!!!!!
A lot of really great Freepers were kicked off the site simply because they supported a Mormon candidate. I was one of them.
***Then that makes you a retread troll, pushing a lying, baby-killing librul statist.
I’m constantly amazed at how many freepers there are that do not realize this is a conservative website, not a republican one.
Reagan and Nixon did not come out of ‘brokered’ conventions. That is pure dreaming on someones part
Just think of the commercials. I didn't vote for Romney, but I will, and would be ashamed of a party that took away a legitimate nominee selected by the people, like it or not.
And just exactly which candidate do you want to replace Romney?
Oh, simple math tells you that not voting for Romney does not increase Obama’s vote by one. No I am not voting for either obama or romney.
People in this country are running around trying to find a king or savior to get them out of the mess we are in. They are trusting mere “men” and evil men at that, thinking they will save us. We are in so deep that it will take an act of God and turning to him help us. You are not trusting God when you make an alliance with evil.
“Woe to the rebellious children,” says the Lord, “who take counsel, but not of Me,
And who devise plans, but not of My Spirit.... and have not asked My advice....

1980 was not a brokered convention. Reagan was the leader in the primaries and won the nomination on the first ballot at the convention. All the others were prior to the modern primary system and are not comparable in any way to what you propose.
You’re free to argue that the Republican Party ought to try to replace Mitt, but try to stay tethered to reality.
There is no historical precedent for using the convention to subvert the will of primary voters. And without any historical precedent, it’s difficult to imagine the idea as anything other than politically suicidal.
here’s another spoiled child that won’t be voting for that POS either.
Meanwhile, back in the zone of reality..
Romney has more than enough delegates to secure the nomination. He`s the guy going forward, and either he or Obama will win on the night of 6 Nov or the next morning.
I don`t much like Romney, either, and the odds are heavily against him pulling off the upset (Intrade has his odds dropping back into the 30s). But, he`s the candidate the Republicans wanted, and..much as we`d like things to be different... they aren`t.
Couldn’t agree on notRomney candidate in the primaries and nothing has changed.
Brokered conventions these days are perhaps possible when you have two very close candidates without a majority.
I don’t think you could get 50% + 1 for one alternative candidate even here on FR.
Plus they’d have to start a national general election campaign from zero.
Suicide.
My excitement at giving Obama and the Chicago thugs the boot is off the charts!!
Hurry November and Chick-Fil-A Barrack!
Yeah.. I`m sure that`s what Gov. Walker strives for.. having his life and family turned upside down with yet another election campaign.
Where’s your proof that he cares more about his money than you care about your money or Barack and Michelle care about their money or anybody that has money cares about his/her money?
FYI, most people I know that have money, including myself, care a lot about their money.
BS
