The Republican party had a brokered convention in 1952 and nearly had one in 1976. It may be unlikely but it is possible.

Actually this is a year when a brokered convention is a real possibility. It all depends on how many delegates Ron Paul collects and how close the Gingrich-Romney race becomes.

If Romney and Newt end up with, for example, 48% and 49% of the delegates and Ron Paul has the remaining 3% then he could swing the vote one way or the other. I know it's a scary thought but there is at least a possibility that Ron Paul will get to pick our nominee for us.

I believe that’s why Palin was saying to stop being so crude to Paul. The right Republican candidate could get a lot of support—delegate wise—from Paul. No one has to agree with him on anything..but Palin said we need to respect him and his supporters..she usually doesn’t say stuff needlessly. No one was listening then..hope they start now. I believe Paul supporters would go to Palin..not so much for Newt or Santorum at this point.
