This is bullshit.
A brokered convention is a fantasy. It is simply not possible. People who are saying they want a brokered convention are just stalling, waiting for something to happen. I would dare say that most are just waiting for Romney to sew things up, so they can be forced to accept what the wanted all along.
The only way to avoid Romney is to beat him in the primaries. Any fantasy of a brokered convention that distracts from that immediate goal just serves to seal the deal.
History is full of events that people thought were impossible :-)
What exactly is a brokered convention? Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
The Republican party had a brokered convention in 1952 and nearly had one in 1976. It may be unlikely but it is possible.
Not a fantasy at all. Romney is capped at 35% support. Newt could never win a general election. Paul has a rabid 20% support, and Santorum has the bible thumpers behind him. All the elements for a brokered convention are falling into place as long as Santorum and Paul stick around.
