This guy is not serious. He left out the most prominent name - Sarah Palin.

Not so. I read the entire article and he did mention the possibility of the Gingrich and Santorum Delegates coalescing around Sarah Palin.

He mentioned it.

Remember, “brokered” is a bit of a misnomer. Party brokers (whoever they are) may decide upon a particular alternative, but the delegates -- who will show up in Tampa largely believing that Gingrich, Paul, Romney or Santorum should be president -- may not be in any more of a mood to follow the party “establishment” than the GOP electorate as a whole is.

So while one may envision Jeb Bush or Paul Ryan emerging from the convention as the party’s standard-bearer, the possibility is real that the Gingrich and Santorum delegates could coalesce around someone like Sarah Palin. Now, for some Republicans that’s an attractive feature in the scenario. For others, it is the worst imaginable outcome. Regardless, it’s a real possibility.

Oh please don't throw me into that Briar Patch, Mr. Bear.
