Just so long as conservatives don't go off in a snit at election time. Actually, I'm hoping you have a brokered convention & there's an upset there in favour of a better candidate. (Such conventions are the norm here in Canada; so I admit that I have a hard time understanding why so many are against a brokered convention.)

Putting Romney aside for a moment, I actually think a brokered convention would be great and a plus for the GOP.
Why you may ask ‘Why do I say that?’, because there would be drama and interest in the convention. People might actually watch it and pay attention, even learn something maybe be inspired. Conventions where the candidate has already been decided are usually nothing more then bad variety shows. The last GOP convention did have a little more excitement then usual with the Palin pick, but even that was unusual.

If that would get us a decent candidate I’d be all for it. But I’m not convinced the Republican establishment could be trusted to give us a decent candidate even in a brokered convention. I trust them about as far as I can throw the Eiffel Tower.

As I’ve said elsewhere, I’d vote for worms from my trashcan if that’s what it took to get rid of Obama. No way I will ever vote for him. And I will encourage others to effectively vote against him as well, even if we have to plug our nose and drink a bottle of whiskey before we can bring ourselves to do it.
