Today’s Republican establishment is, for all practical purposes, a mirror (or converse) image of the Democrat Party

The article makes some good strategic points.

I am in support of going to the convention to contest in how the establishment republicans are taking this party
in the wrong direction.

I am all for Newt exposing the weakness of the party and what the republican party should be. Newt can protest these

concerns and force a showdown to make conservatism the platform. It will get ugly but if Newt holds his ideas to

respect of conservatism, principled integrity, America would be more better for it. We cannot continue on this path. Bold changes has to be the issue in fighting Obama, not just social issues. Without the America we know, you will not have to ponder right or wrong; we'll be living under socialism and the government will tell us what is right and wrong.

I have been saying for a year now we needed a TEA Party March on GOP headquarters...

The GOP Convention would do just as well

Getting to 1,144 gets harder and harder. If there is an open convention, most of the delegates will be conservatives.

Thanks for this thread.
_______
HEY! FRANK SALVATO! YEAH YOU!!! I know your editor wants column inches out of you, but at least TRY to be relevant! Democrat Dick is who you are waiting to hear his reply to you?

HEY! We, the voters, are over here! The last two Administrations have assigned a combined 9 TRILLION dollars of IOU’s to your grandchildren’s descendants, and you write a Q and A to Dick Morris?

If the RINO Express wins the Nominee again for the Establishment RNC, the Tampa will be the Last Hurrah for the Party of Lincoln. Take it to the Bank.

None of your points addressed the major financial issues of this National Election. All you wrote about was gibberish about “ Just hold your nose, AGAIN, when you vote for OUR Nominee.”

BTW, how did that strategy work out for the RNC back in 2008?

...The benefits of a brokered convention.. we would see:

a) Barack Obama’s campaign apparatus split into four redundant efforts as its war chest is depleted.

b) an Obama campaign without advanced research and preparation about the GOP candidate.

c) a GOP primary slate that acts like they actually believe Progressivism and Barack Obama are the opponents and not their fellow Republicans

How sweet would that be!!! On to Convention!!!!!

Mr. Newt is already calling on Romney and Santorum to stop the negative ads and concentrate on their own positive visions. Mr. Newt is the leading voice in this strategy and I would urge your candidate of choice to do the same. Show us your visions for America and past achievements in which accomplish those visions. Stop the ridicule of each other and focus only on defeating Obama.

Mr. Newt is already being called a whiner for suggesting that Romney and Santorum stop the negative ads. Mr. Newt is already working toward this very strategy. The Tea Party could make all the difference, but they too are split. How they could be supporting Romney is beyond me. When push comes to shove, I think they will support a Gingrich/Palin candidacy and that would indeed be a gift to WE THE PEOPLE. GOD help us achieve this goal!

This power-hoarding of the hierarchy is evidenced by the ridiculous move to award convention delegates proportionately, a move more in line with the abolition of the Electoral College than with the preservation of the Republic.

Just like nationally, the proportional vs. winner-take-all assignment of delegates/electors doesn't make much of a difference. If you calculate all the state wins so far as pure winner-take-all, not much changes and Romney only moves from about 500 to 550 delegates. And if you count his expected wins going forward, under pure winner-take-all rules, he still wouldn't get 1,144 delegates and the nomination until June.

There is also the fact that the states have a mix of rules. About half the delegates are awarded under some form of winner-take-all rules, and about 2/3rds of those are coming up in the next half of the primary, with 1/3rd having already taken place.
