In case of a brokered convention, we need:
1. Someone who is 100% Natural Born Citizen and Qualified Constitutionally for President
2. We know can win the South
3. Despised by the Northeast
4. Has gone up against the Chicago Machine and Beaten it when it matters
5. Solid Conservative (Social/Fiscal/Foreign Policy)
6. Motivational Speaker, Respected by Many
7. Always takes Responsibility for their actions, whether good or bad
8. Knows what it’s like (currently) to battle the “Establishment” that wants to force him out
9. Knows how to come from behind/Proven winner
10. Never gives up
11. Makes everyone around him better (Good for House/Senate down the line votes)
Who is this person?
Duh, Peyton Manning
And just so we have someone there to help Peyton know what he’s doing, David Petraeus.
Manning/Petraeus 2012
(Okay, just kidding, it’s late. Time for bed. Needed a laugh before going to sleep.)
I dig it. But let’s sub in a real winner...Eli.
At least the Boston media will hate him ;)
I hate to keep saying this but it is the truth, a brokered convention will not bring anyone new or outside to the table. The people who will be doing the brokering will be the party and precinct leadership and the delegates already loyal to one candidate or another. There will be no one brokering on behalf of any ‘outsider’ beyond maybe a handful. The result of a brokered convention will most likely be the most establishment friendly candidate.
Wishing for a Palin, Manning, West or whoever is about as likely as a unicorn pooping ice cream cones and just distracts us from the real battle in front of us.
