I'm not so optimistic about a brokered convention. Romney has the money and the GOPE behind him and when deals are made the establishment usually comes out on top.
We need a first ballot victory by a non-Romney candidate. If it goes to the convention, Romney will be the nominee. You can bet on it.
Depending on how the next couple of weeks goes, we need to gel around one non-Romney candidate. At this point it appears that Santorum is the most likely candidate to take out Romney. Santorum will get 90% of the Catholic vote and 90% of the church going Evangelical vote in the General Election.
Since my most important issue is the life issue and I believe that Santorum is the candidate who is the most committed to that issue, I'm leaning towards Santorum at this point.
I never thought he would gain any traction. I was wrong.
You can correct me if I am wrong, but the delegates that go to the convention are pledged supporters of the candidate who won in the state.
If that is correct, then the delegates of Rick and Newt would outnumber the delegates of Romney, and they would not vote for Romney. I understand it is the delegates who do the voting. (Is that correct?)
If their combined numbers do not outnumber Romney, then Romney already has a majority unless he is 30 or 40 short due to Ron Paul’s hundred or so by the end of the primary season.
I don’t think Paul delegates would support Romney either.
Are you serious? I'm more pro life that Rick ever hopes to be. ANYONE who claims to be so pro life as Rick does, would NEVER have given support to Mitt. Even if he were the last candidate, he still would not support him. One would have to be a real pro lifer to understand where I'm coming from. I don't say it for an agenda, I live it.
