after the first ballot, the delegates are free to vote for whomever they wish. Even if their candidate doesn’t release them. If is more like a free-for-all. There really aren’t brokers anymore.
The theory is that if Mitt don’t make it, he’ll be told it is over and his delegates will support the selected candidate who will be more palatable to the anti-MITT delegates. it is the Mitch Daniels scenario.
But Mitch will have to win a few primaries in the spring to prove himself.
Thanks for responding with that information. Sorry for my late reply, had to go work (after the first ballot, the delegates are free to vote for whomever they wish.

That scenario sure sounds like something “brokers” would come up with to me!
