My point of posting this is not to gauge the chances of Romney, Santorum, Gingrich, and Paul of winning the nomination. In fact, these odds are seem to be very inaccurate. Instead, in light of speculation of a brokered convention, this is an exhaustive list of who could potentially come out as the candidate in a brokered convention. Most of these 53 people don't have a snowball's chance in Hell and are laughable, but it's nice to have a list of virtually every possible candidate.
Go Rickabee!
those numbers are so messed up it’s amazing.
The leader Santorum is trading at 14%
The moderate with almost no chance is trading at 71% even after his recent implosion
And people not even in the race are trading as high or higher than Gingrich and Paul
people on Intrade are doing drugs
RNC spokesman says chances of brokered convention same as ‘space alien attack’
Completely agree. They are wrong in so many places that it would be a waste of time to try to point all the flaws out.
I just like the list without the odds.
Newt is the winner in reality. (intelligent thinker/reformer and a fighter The Goldman Sachs Group want Romney. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nyi5JsYeY6E (If this doesn’t move one, nothing will)
Whose idea of a joke is this?
One name that is not found is Sarah....amazing!
Romney has not even begun to unleash his attack ads on Santorum.
These numbers simply reflect the opinion that Romney will retake the lead wants those attack ads going to affect.
Reality?
Reality is the ACTUAL reality. (See head to head Rasmussen numbers above)
Not youtube cherry picked clips.
Romney has been attacking Santorum for over a week, and Santorum’s numbers just keep going up
She’s there at .5%.
Willard’s evil Super PAC started up a few days ago on Santorum, our future nominee.
Hmmmm... not working so far.

Sarah Palin is in there, at 0.5%
Not a bad bet at that price.
How long until you realize Newt is losing and not going to have a comeback and Santorum is winning?
Not sure how you`ve missed them, but Romney`s PACs have have been launching attacks on Santorum for over a week, and not laying a glove on him. Santo`s numbers have still gone up.
Tru dat, Tex!

Short Romney!
Actually I forgot about John Kasich. His name ought to be talked about a lot more. Certainly over Jindal, Rubio and Daniels. He’s an excellent communicator, has charisma and likability, and, although I haven’t researched his record exhaustively, seems like a consistent conservative to me. He should move way to the top of the list when the next primary rolls around, be it in 4 or 8 years.
