A brokered convention is not likely.
If Romney gets to the convention with around 1,000 delegates, whatever undecided Superdelegates and some committed unpledged Superdelegates will jump ship and give him the margin he needs to take the nomination. If that isn’t enough, he’ll make a deal with Rand Paul.
Either way ends up with a Romney nomination. We had a chance to stop him and failed.
