I would love to see Mitt denied the nomination but have no illusions that a brokered convention would be run by the RNC and RINOs. There is no way Romney gets 1000 delegates and is still not given the top spot. A “brokered convention” would just end up being some dickering over the 2nd spot and platform language.

I’m IN.

Wife & I both will be in Ft. Worth for the TX GOP Convention. Would love to go to Tampa, but that is a really big long shot.

May 29th is Texas’s day to shine. We will finally have out primary. If we are approved by the RNC for winner-take-all we should open some eyes. (155 delegates)

Wall Streeters don't have New Yawk accents...that's for the outer borough folks.

Wall Streeters (I spent my career on Wall St) are preppies!

You have been listening much to your enemy of Newt state party chairman, I see.

Did you just get your predictions from him, or do you have a crystal ball?

Well, you make a good point. In fact that is what is so terribly wrong with Wall Street. But I digress.

However, have you ever been on an actual exchange? If I recall, I think the token trading-floor scene in the movie did actually feature a real floor trader of the classic ilk. SI or whatever.

BTW, I am not a preppy...just a Southern public school math wiz with a tough but socially malleable shell.

The preppies run Wall St...but they are not very good at it.

Funny that you should ask.

I have been on the floor of the NYSE Exchange only a couple of times.

I was an investment banker...we and the traders were the heart of WS. The exchanges were the bowels.

That said, WS is a soul devouring place if one is not careful. It took me years to recover myself after leaving.

Of course, I still love it!;-)

I think you are correct there. Newt once said it will be easier for him to beat obama than the republic establishment. And, when you think about it, he's probably right...

He definitely needs BIG TIME BACKROOM LEVERAGE going into the convention - and that is a real poser. So far the only thing he has is a grassroots behind him that won't take NO for an answer...

Yes I am glad Newt is hanging in there. The RINOs will run the convention and Romney will be the nominee but that doesn’t mean we give up. Never give up. We fight for conservative members of congress and platform language and getting our issues out there. It is not an all or nothing sprint. This will be a constant marathon struggle for the rest of our lives.

the bowels, hunh?

I was a member of the NYBOT, and we would flush investment bankers down the toilet.

Has the SREC done anything more about an emergency meeting to pass a resolution for the change to WTA? I’ve not seen anything more about it.

This thread reminds me of one of the Big Hit LP’s from the 80’s = Styx “Grand Illusion”
