“Good grief. Tactically I would like Romney to limp along for a while to continue to split the vote, so we have a better shot at a brokered convention”.
A brokered convention will not bring an outside candidate in to save the day. Deals will be made to put McCain over the top. There is no fairy tale ending to the brokered convention scenerio.

There is no fairy tale ending to the brokered convention scenerio.I never said it would. However, a brokered convention might be the beginning of a giant shock to the GOP system, which it apparently needs if it is to survive as a party and/or re-adopt conservative principles.
We will not be any worse off after a brokered convention. But it could provide the spart for a shake-up.

If Romney and Huckabee somehow totaled 51%, Romney could offer to let Huckabee be the #1 instead of the #2 on the ticket. Not likely to happen, but it would at least stop McCain.
