There’s a Chance! Yes! (Could there be a brokered convention?)

Steve’s kinda late to the party, seems many of us have been talking for weeks about how both Newt and Rick need to stay in the campaign to gather enough delegates between them to force an open convention. Romney’s gameplan is to win 1144, the gameplan for the others is to prevent him from doing so.

[no dems]

I pray to God that there is a Brokered Convention and none of the Three Stooges or Kook-Daddy leave Tampa with the nomination. Ryan/Rubio in 2012.

[elpadre]

If there is a brokered convention it is my hope none of the four we have running now is the winner. I would look to successful Governors as our best bet - a Perry or Daniel would make a great President. They are both conservative and have done great things for their state.

“I’m pushing for a floor fight. .  .  . I’d like to see a good old-fashioned convention and a dark horse come out,” Maine Republican governor Paul LePage told Politico in late February. “I just believe we ought to go to the convention and pick a fresh face.”

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!...........

[PghBaldy]

Mitch Daniels is so boring compared to Rubio and Christie.

I’m afraid that Rick Perry would get clobbered by Obama. His short stint in the Primary Process, and especially the Debates, have shown America what we Texans have known for a long time; Perry is a light-weight. The real power in Texas is with the Lt. Gov. The Governor is by-and-large, ceremonial, except for veto power. The GOP machine keeps Perry getting the nomination every election and Texans will not vote for a Democrat. But, after his embarrassing Primary showing, he will never win another election here in Texas.

Palin/West is unbeatable!

Mitch Daniels is so boring compared to Rubio and Christie.

To add to that, I was under the impression that Daniels is NOT very Conservative. I know he did say that if he was the candidate, social issues would be OFF the table. As far as Christie.... after he publicly dissed that Navy Seal (when his fat ass never served a day in the military) that was the final straw for me. I wouldn’t vote for that gluttonous, fat ass slob for anything. Now, here’s the ticket:

PAUL RYAN / MARCO RUBIO !

[JerseyanExile]

Rubio’s parents did not hold American citizenship at the time of his birth, and thus he doesn’t qualify as a natural-born citizen.

[JerseyanExile]

But Perry held the position of Lieutenant Governor for two years...

[syriacus]

How about Thomas Sowell for president?

[no dems]

Let’s see you stop Marco Rubio from being the GOP VP nominee.

Other than Palin, Perry was my choice early on. I agree with you on successful conservative Governors, they were always our best bet.

[Aglooka]

Romney needs almost half of the remaining delegates to get the nomination. Right now he is averaging about 30% in each state.

[Mountain Mary]

Sowell for President? Works for me!

[Windflier]

Palin/West is unbeatable!

Now we're talkin'.

[Ethrane]

While I would LOVE to see this happen, I certainly hope SOMEONE in the ‘stupid party’ is behind the scenes vetting potential nominees....closely.

People like Demint (my choice), Ryan, Cantor, Rubio or any governor need to be screened by SOMEONE.

Demint/Ryan would be a good ticket!

[Windflier]

PAUL RYAN / MARCO RUBIO !

That may be a winning combination for some conservative political junkies, but the average Republican voter has little idea of who those guys are.

Won't sell, won't win.
