Delay is absolutely correct.

[Tom delay doesn’t understand...the voters commit the delegated by their votes.]

After the first round in a brokered convention I believe the delegates are free to choose whomever they want.

But only for the first round of voting on a nominee, then they are free to vote in a manner they think is best. If there is a clear leader who didn't get enough delegates to win the nomination outright, the party would be foolish to deny that person the nomination. However, it is the process and personally, I don't the process is seriously flawed on this dimension.

Would I be pissed if the process is used by the GOPe to foist Romney on us again? Damn right I would be but there are a lot of things that would have to fall into place for that to occur which aren't likely to happen.
