If that scenario pans out and Obama is the Democrat nominee, I will be really concerned. With this electorate and the ongoing MSM Obasm, that skinny bag of socialist helium will get himself elected.
A brokered convention will seriously hurt whatever candidate emerges from it. The conventions, which used to be held in the mid-summer, have been pushed later and later on the calendar.
In 2004, the Republican convention was almost a month after the Democrats’ — that gave Bush the advantage of continuing to spend from his primary election funds, keeping his general election powder dry for the home stretch. This time, the late convention could bite the GOP on the butt.
If the Dems coalesce around a candidate before the first of spring and the Republicans don’t know who their candidate will be until the first week of September, Obama — or whoever the Dem winds up being — will have three times as long to build his organization and get his message out.
The old — and somewhat, but not wholly, discredited — wisdom is that voters make up their minds by Labor Day. If the Republicans don’t even have a candidate until Labor Day, that i not likely to end happily for the GOP.
