New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie isn't ruling out the possibility the topsy-turvy GOP presidential race ends up in a contested party convention this summer if Mitt Romney loses Tuesday's Michigan primary.

This smacks of the "threats" of rioting made 2009 "if obama loses".

What Christie is saying is, if Mitt doesn't win, they'll contest the convention and throw the whole convention into turmoi, and throw the presidency to obama.

Christie is a blowhard.

Wow, Gov Christie is really really bright.

Bet Christie is licking his chubby chops!

Looks like the RINO establishment is starting to panic.

They sure so want Romney to win the nomination, don’t they? If it goes this way, I won’t even vote. Sure, it means zero will win another term, but, I’ll be danged if the establishment is going to tell me who to vote for. Not ever again! They are so out of touch with the American people, it’s scary.

C’mon, folks. He’s just suggesting the possibility of a brokered convention. In case you haven’t been paying attention, a lot of FReepers want a brokered convention because they think that Saint Sarah will jump back into contention.

I will vote for my Congressman, but I can’t vote for Romney either. I will not take responsibility for 4 more years of Obama, if that happens. We have an opportunity to vote for someone who has a positive Plan for our country, and if the majority don’t vote for him, then they bear a share of the responsibility for the damage Obama will do in an unrestrained second term.

I believe a contested convention would collapse the Republican Party turning conservative voters fully into Independents, while we build a small Third Party, where we can run conservative candidates. Therein we can fight it out between the Palin firebrands and the skilled masters of national consequence, like Newt, or DeMint types. What do you think though?

[rllngrk33]

The only reason the RINO establishment is talking about a brokered convention is because they're starting to see that Mitt isn't as electable as they thought and he hasn't sown up the nomination yet like they wanted.

Has anyone noticed how the names thrown out there by the establishment as alternatives always seem to be more "moderate" than conservative?

Amazing how a freshman Gov can become so darn smart overnight.
Suckling the teat of power has that effect I suppose.
