I don’t know how a brokered convention works. When I voted this week, I also voted for delegates. Do the delegates get together and decide the nominee? Could Newt and Rick reach a deal where one will be prez and the other vice prez and directed their delagates to make it happen? Or am I way off base here?
Anything can happen after a first ballot; the most likely scenario remains a Romney first-ballot victory. It took ten ballots to nominate Harding in 1920; 103 for John Davis in 1924.
