I disagree. Delagates are usually party insiders chosen from the local ranks. A brokered convention would benefit Romney once the pledged delagates are released.

I agree. This idea about a brokered convention with enthusiastic, independent TEA Party delegates is sheer fantasy. The party bosses are in control, and the TEA Party's best shot at purging the GOP-E of its RINOs is the primaries. But quite frankly it looks like we have lost that battle, with Newt and Romney as the two evils to choose between at this point.

If that happens, then the local delegate elections which usually only one person runs for and no one pays attention to could get very interesting next time around.

Of course they are. How else would you wish them to be chosen. Everyone has the opportunity to run to be a delegate. I did it once and I can tell you I'm not part of "the establishment"--whoever they are.

I was just at a meeting this am and I asked the question to all those in attendance. Just who is this dreaded "establishment" we keep hearing about.

The consensus finally decided, it's the winners of elections. Anyone who doesn't win, tries to demonize the winners.

I have no clue as to who is "the establishment".
