Results, thus far. I don't cotton to the idea of "brokered conventions." Seems to me they're all supposed to be brokered, and the idea of having our nominee picked in a series of staggered open primaries just welcomes a hostile media and opposition to interfere with the selection of a nominee. But, for what it's worth, which probably ain't much, here's one poll in which my participation, unsolicited, was sought.

There will not be a “brokered” Convention, any more than the Democrats had one in 2008.

Romney is going to run off with this thing, and frankly, I don’t see any way that doesn’t happen now, short of a sex scandal with a three-legged dog.

I believe Gingrich would be a very good choice.

Otherwise—Palin.

I am positive that "Other" the definitive leader in the "Dark Horse" category is Sarah Palin.

Why wasn't she listed?

I would vote Palin and pray that she would choose Col. West as VP.

Wonderful of them to list her - /s

My vote would be for Daniels

(if his wife would let him).

Rubio and Ryan don't have the executive experience that Daniels has.

I would love to see what Daniels has done with State public unions happen on a Federal level!!

Not that I really believe that either party cares about votes from we mere citizens...but...if given the choice, I’ll play dim-bulb-crat and am willing to vote at least 10 or 15 times for the broken...er...brokered convention.

The 100 Year War for the soul of the Republican party may be on full display at this year's convention.

The soul is long gone and what's left looks more and more like a rotting corpse.
