Yes but its pointless to think about since Mitt will be the nominee in a brokered convention. Its all about Mitt picking his running mate.

I don't see how it can be otherwise. These four guys have been out there pounding the campaign ground for almost a year. To have someone who has sat back on the sidelines swoop in and take the nomination would be unbelievably cruel and unfair and I doubt well-received by the electorate. Now I know many on FR aren't thrilled with the field and I'll probably be flamed for saying this, but these are the guys who have put themselves and their families (unfortunately, but that is the world we live in, at least for 'Pubs) on the line in a very hostile political and media environment, have answered the call and stood up to give it their best shot. Anyone who hasn't can't really be in a position to make a case for themselves.

It's been all about Mitt the entire time. We never really had a choice.

The first time I ever heard about Mitt being considered for President was back in 2000 when my son worked for a conservative congressman. The GOP-E had just begun vetting him. They have wanted him since then and they will get him, brokered convention or no brokered convention, Newt in or Newt out. Mitt is their guy and they won't be denied!
