...a brokered convention...more of a likelihood IF Romney is defeated in Michigan.

Romney will not be defeated in MI now. Santorum would have beaten him but now Newt is aggressively going after MI Delegates, so the Conservative vote, once again, is going to be divided and RINO-Rom will win.
That's news to me, and I live here. Newt won't get any delegates in Michigan. He's saying that so he won't come across as a quitter. He's learned from McCain who got clobbered after his staff announced that he quit the state. He probably wouldn't have won, but it would have been closer if he didn't announce that.
There's 30 delegates to be won here. Two delegates are awarded for each of the 14 congressional districts won under the 2012 boundaries. Those are winner take all. You can get an at large delegate spot if you break 15%. However, because there's only two at large delegates, only the top two would win a delegate.
It's a two race here. Santorum vs Romney.
