Can we wait until my head stops spinning from the Primary, until I can make such a decision?
Dumb post since those match-ups will never happen. It just doesn’t work that way. You’be been watching too much sports, not politics.
I’ll play:
Jeb Bush vs Bobby Jindal -——| Bush because he is eligible
Newt Gingrich vs Paul Ryan -——|Gingrich
Sarah Palin vs Marco Rubio ——| Palin because she is eligible
Rick Santorum vs Jim Demint ——|Demint
Ron Paul vs Chris Christie ——| Christie
Mitt Romney vs Mitch Daniels ——|Daniels
“Other” vs Mike Huckabee -——| Huck
John Thune vs Bob McDonnell ——| Thune
I prefer Bobby Jindal to all the rest
First things first.
Get your as*es out there and active in your local country Republican organization NOW. Get yourself elected a delegate for the your states spring convention - really MUCH EASIER than you might think.
Start saving up money and time to go to the National Convention. Often, the deciding factor in who goes to that is who has the money and time to part with.
If we aren’t ready and willing to do this, you can bet your boots the Establishment will fill the delegate seats -
And forget your silly ‘other names’ - Stick with who we HAVE - NEWT - otherwise, you’ll be giving it to the enemy, hands down.
Who are "we"? You and the Unabomber?

Final -

My top three choices are Sarah, Jim DeMint, and Paul Ryan but the brackets knocked the latter two out early.
If Romney is chosen in a brokered convention, the political class will be smaller, more exclusive and more hated by most of America indeed, from then on. Vanity...
Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, Newt. If I am a birther concerning Obama, then I must also demand a NBC clearing of Jindal and Rubio before I consider them.

Ryan.
He knows numbers, he presents himself well, he is a good speaker, he is young and attractive, he is relatively unknown and seems to be fairly clean.
He would be an excellent candidate.
It won’t work.
Romney has been running for seven years plus, he will not free up his delegates to vote for someone else.
All a brokered convention means is Romney and the GOP-E start buying delegates until they have enough.
Some very good men have been nominated because of brokered conventions, Garfield, Harding, Coolidge...
Gov. Rick Perry
My bet - there is little chance of a brokered convention.
Well first Marco Rubio and Bobby Jindal are not eligible and as far as I know are not running.
I’d stick with Newt. He will hit the ground running on day one. Mitt will form a committee to study all the problems for a year or so.
