This is ridiculous. A brokered convention will be run by the same people that have pushed McRomDole for the last year. If anybody thinks they will push anybody other than son of McRomDole they are smoking crack.

You have NO idea what He has in store for America.

I pinged my friend because I no longer want to be the negative nellie I have been.

The simple truth (which most people toss aside) is that we just DON'T KNOW. When is the last time we have come this close to a brokered convention?

No, historically brokered conventions are run by whoever can get the loyalty of big blocks of delegates once their pledge to vote for candidate X on the first ballot has been fulfilled. The GOP inside-the-beltway types may have sway over the Romney delegates, but if it comes to a second ballot, they’ll have precious little influence over the Gingrich, Santorum and Paul delegates.

I’m charmed by the scenario, but unless there’s a plan to have some Alaska delegates pledged to Palin as a “favorite-daughter” candidate, I don’t think I buy it. (If there is, though, I think the folks noising this idea may be onto something.)

In addition, Palin has campaigned against "career politicians" like them. You don't have to be a candidate to be a career politician. Career party hacks are the same ilk.
