In the meantime pray pray pray for a brokered convention - its our only hope.

That's a really poor reason to vote for anyone, let alone Paul.

A brokered convention would mean a fractured party until the Fall, with only 60 days after to the General Election. No funds could be raised until then. And, according to McCain Feingold, much advocacy advertising would be illegal for the entire 60 days before the election.

Meanwhile, the Dems will probably have been settled on a candidate by May at the latest. That means 6 months of ads which the Republicans cannot effectively reply to.

No, its a desperate attempt to keep a dem out of the oval office.

We already have a fractured party. And its fractured because 'conservatives' voted for liberal Republicans. Dems have already won unless the convention becomes brokered. No rhino can win, period, you will never unite the conservative base with a rhino. And no republican can win without the conservative base. Get the picture yet?
