“That’s right. The history of brokered convention candidates is dismal”
Dewey beats Truman!
I may have mis-heard but other thing Newt has been saying lately have made me uneasy about him.
I was looking at Intrade today. I hate that site. Manipulation by money to get a point across. But I noticed that in the long list of names, Condoleezza Rice was on the list. I stopped and thought how she wasn’t running and that people even saying that at this point and time would be a long shot. But then I thought back to the Brokered Convention Talk... and a amusing what if scenario popped into my head. now I know this will probably never happen, but I’ll say it anyway...
The Dems are blasting each other over what sex the candidate is, or what race. Then the dems call truces, yet people still swoon over the possibility of either a woman president or black president. If such things actually mattered, imagine a Rice running for president from a Brokered Convention. I bet that would make the dems happy.
See? Amusing thought. That’s all.
