Is 2012 The Time For A Brokered GOP Convention?
USA Today | 2/16/11 | self

(Link to Gov. Christie speech below). Is next year the year? With no front runner, why not vote for favorite sons around the country, and then have the delegates choose the strongest candidate in August/September 2012?

Christy has appointed more Muslim judges than mittens has as well.

No, it is our one shot to get the establishment OUT by overrunning the place with teaparty and real Reagan conservatives. A brokerage amongst this group would be the end of the Romneys and Hucklebees, and would give Palin and Bachmann their shot.

We don’t have favorite sons (or daughters) for every state. There just aren’t that many candidates running. So that’s a major problem right there. And in any case, I don’t want this thing decided in a back room. Aside from the potential for shenanigans, I simply don’t think our insiders are smart enough to hold the power to make that decision.

Neither are "establishment" ~ maybe you haven't figured that out ~ "The Huck" and "The Mit" are actually on their own ~ much like Michelle and Sarah.

The Preibus establishment wants to run someone like Walker ~

We do NOT want Republican insiders picking our candidate. Period.
