At the convention, if enough of the delegates simply abstain from voting during the first round (which it is COMPLETELY “legal” and ethical to do), That will deny romny the required delegates and therefore “open up” the convention. Romnys delegates are only required to vote for him (or abstain) during the first round. After that, they can vote for whomever they choose, it doesn’t even have to be one of the folks who ran in the primary.

And you seriously think that would happen because? You have to face reality at some point. Romney didn't spend five years and millions of dollars to have it all fall apart in Tampa. He will have a small army keeping all the cats herded, and most of those cats WANT to be herded.

As much as I would like to have someone other than Romney, he is for all practical purposes the candidate now. Nothing is to be gained by wishfully thinking otherwise.

I make a living on coming up with ways to make “impossible” things happen. Its because losers like you are the rule and not the exception that we have so much damn failure out there. I mean WTF? you admit you have no ideas and your resigned to failure.. Fine, shut up and get out of the way of people who DO have ideas, maybe even support them...

Those delegates are still “republicans” and are still (theoretically) anti-socialized healthcare. They are also human with human emotions.

What the SC pulled last week can be used to undermine their “desire” to be “herded” by romney. This turns EVERYTHING on its head and raises the tension significantly. These delegates, CAN be influenced to turn against Mr. Romney care. Just takes a few folks dedicated enough to beating socialism, (and an inside track) to make it happen.
