The advance drumbeats for a brokered convention are beginning to beat louder. Seems risky, but - Hey - if it gets Romney out of the picture then it might be the way to go . . .

Newt has said he was going to do this all along and

explains again why the ruling party is doing a terrific

job to silence him. He will be there fighting. He said it first now the other person is copying his idea.

It’d better be.

If it’s RINOmney, I’m not checking the president box.

After all, why go for Obama lite when one can get the whole sleezy, slimy package?

Worst that can happen is we wind up with a RINO, which is where we are headed now.

No, it wont be a brokered convention, nor a battleground.

Hope so. Sieze the power back from the elites. Or at least make them scramble so they begin to fear the electorate again.

If it's a brokered convention, who's going to be doing the brokering? Hint: it's not the grass roots.

No matter who might emerge from such a convention, he or she couldn't be worse than Romney.

I’m all in for a brokered convention. Stupid GOP-e and their RINO nonsense. They all thought it would be a cakewalk for Mittens..

I’m down for it.

FUMR and the horse you rode in on. Looks more like an ass and who rides backward and bareback?

Count on it!

Romney can’t secure the nomination with the state primaries left.

If he is our nominee, we lose big-time!

I hope it is a battleground. I have been saying for months now we needed a TEA Party march on GOP headquarters...

I think this will do nicely- we even have a date, folks.

show up, bring a large vehicle, food, and water and a porta-potty, and tie up that place like it never has been

I think all these convention goers are annoyed that they will actually have to do some work instead of the usual party.

I will not trade four more years of the Kenyan for eight years of a better bred, lighter skinned . . . Kenyan.

Agreed; nobody that the GOP could stick in there at the convention would be measurably worse than Mitt. So, nothing to lose.

I'm not excited by the possibility of a brokered convention, not when Mitt Romney is the man the insiders are trying to push on us against our will. Still, a second round of ballots could not possibly do any worse than sticking us with Mitt. I'm hoping that the "leadership" will accept reality and choose someone not in the race, someone undamaged. DeMint comes to mind as a realistic possibility, a conservative who is acceptable to the GOP insiders. After all, how likely are they to find a modern day Ronald Reagan ready to go? Would they even know where to look?
