And, yes, if Newt was running I'd voted for him in a heart beat. But he ain't! It's Obama or Romney and anyway you look at it staying away from the polls is not the wise thing to do in any circumstance! Thank you... I'm through!

I don't really think a Brokered Convention will take place in Tampa, but it would be nice if we could make history.

It's not wise to become part of the problem - voting in a Rhino and continuing our decline for conservatism. Just my opinion, of course.

There is zero chance of a brokered convention. That brokered convention talk was the pipe dream of those who hoped Santorum and Newton would stay in the race to the bitter end bashing each other and Romney all the way to the convention where you would have had a brokered convention. Whether you will acknowledge it or not Romney has the nomination.

All a brokered convention would have done is insure Obama would win by a large margin as Repubs were just focusing on bashing each other when all were still in the race and not focusing on Obama.

It's not exactly what the media is telling us. Here's more detailed information, if you are interested.

Actually, Mitt Romney is secretly winning a lot FEWER delegates than you think
5/1/12

It's not just about Romney losing the upcoming contests, its also about him losing the delegates he supposedly already has...

The Mainstream Media and political bigwigs in both parties have declared Mitt Romney the presumptive GOP nominee. This “presumptive” declaration is at best premature when even favorable estimates have Romney hundreds of delegates short of reaching the magic number of 1,144 delegates required to win the Republican nomination.

Romney needs about 300 more delegates from the remaining 14 contests to claim the nomination.

Meanwhile, there is a final charge being mounted by the anti-Romney, pro-Paul alliance to make sure Romney does not reach the 1,144 by contesting the last 14 states or by winning hundreds of delegates in states he's supposedly already won.

See how interesting this can become? More from the article:

"Despite the fact that these delegates are bound to vote for Romney in the first round of the convention there is much talk about the ability to vote “abstain” and not offer any support to any candidate in the hopes of forcing a brokered convention.

Four years ago, John McCain was not well liked by many in the grassroots and 14 delegates with that sentiment showed their displeasure by voting “abstain” (SOURCE: Wikipedia, also see Youtube explanation, courtesy of Matt Larson, on the Abstain Voting Tactic). It may well turn out to be that a large number of anti-Romney delegates will have made it into the convention and will nullify this entire election cycle by forcing a brokered convention using this tactic. For another read on this idea of stealth delegates please read TheGreenPapers.com commentary on the procedural nature of what is involved (SOURCE: STEALTHY IS AS STEALTHY DOES...)."
