It basically means a convention in which no candidate has a majority of the delegates. In such a scenario (it has been a long time since this has happened), a “Dark Horse” compromise candidate may emerge - someone no one ever expected and who may not have been running in the first place.

Now wouldn’t that suck. McLame and Romney spend 100 million to get the nomination and some politico with clout says Gingrich would be a better choice for the party.
