I think I'm starting to like the idea of a brokered convention

I’ve been hoping for one ever since I saw the final field of nominees. While I like Newt and out of the bunch he’s my choice—I know we can do better.

“There’s a scenario where if Romney has eight, nine hundred delegate votes and Santorum has four, five hundred, Romney goes to Rick and says, ‘Look, you go on the ticket with me. You’re younger — I’ve been running for five years. Help me with the first ballot nomination; I’ll make you vice president.’ That’s possible. It’s been done before.”
The most likely scenario in a brokered convention, in my opinion.

Stop using the term “brokered.” That’s the left-wing spin to make the convention look like a bunch of fat guys with cigars in back rooms.

I would suggested “contested.”

Pity the poor GOP elites! Their efforts to push Romney and other establishment candidates on us doesn’t seem to be working. The nasty ill-mannered conservative base just isn’t cooperating. /s

A brokered convention means the dems win.
