I think it’s more likely that the establishment Republicans are hankering for a brokered convention. Their man Mitt is losing his luster so now they’ve got Mitch Daniels warming up in the bullpen. They’ll do whatever it takes to maintain the status quo.
Is the term “brokered convention” synonymous with letting the delegates decide who to represent the Republican Party and be on the ticket as President and Vice-President?
If so, what’s so bad about that that?
Anyway, I doubt doubt very much establishment Republicans are hankering for that.
