I am on record as saying there is no way it is going to happen.....but the noise is going to keep coming and if Romney loses Michigan it is going to get louder. Some of the top names bieng thrown out there are ridiculous. Mitch Daniels , Chris Christie, Jeb Bush.......NO way. If Romney cant get the Conservative vote , Daniels and Christie sure wont, Bush would be the most likely of those three, but I think he is smart enough to know he needs to wait. Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal, Paul Ryan all would be more likely scenarios. Then of course there is Sarah Palin, but it aint gonna happen.http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/...81G1ZF20120217

It wouldn't come to that. Ron Paul will get the delegates needed to earn the nomination.
What's delusional about rejecting the utterly failed BS propagated by partisan shills in favor of a belief system that embraces the Constitution and encourages restraint of an out of control federal government?
Delusional is bleating more of the same will somehow fix the problem it helped create due to little other than the different letter following the candidate's name.

I never said anyone was delusional merely for supporting Ron Paul. I simply said that anyone who really and truly thinks he will win the nomination is delusional.
As far as this idea that anyone who isn't a Ron Paul supporter doesn't support the Constitution and doesn't want restraint of the federal government, it's absurd, laughable, and - quite frankly - rather pathetic. It's become a predictable line that most Paulbots use and it's getting old. FYI - that sort of talk turns a lot of people off.

A brokered convention doesn't mean everyone throws their hands up and they just pick whoever; no outside candidates who aren't already running and have delegates at the convention can be picked. It means the first round of votes didn't generate a consensus candidate so subsequent rounds must be taken, from the available list of candidates. Unbound delegates can vote for whoever bribes them and pledged delegates can be released to vote for whoever bribes them.
Romney would win a brokered convention because he'd have the resources to goad enough delegates to give him the majority in extra rounds of voting.

I couldn't care less that you don't support Ron Paul. I take issue with the fact that you degrade those that fail to support the party line and reject abysmal candidates like Romney due to the fact that they are substantially no different from Obama.
FYI, the blind support of party over principle is what's driving more and more people away from mainstream parties on a daily basis. Your inability or refusal to recognize that plants you firmly in the group that has become part of the problem rather than those that are seeking a solution.
I have little doubt a mainstream candidate will win the upcoming election. Enjoy the hollow victory while you can. That mainstream candidate will drive the nation further down the road to ruin. At some point in the near future the D or R flavor of the day will preside over the failure of the nation. Whether that failure is brought about by financial collapse or withdrawal of consent to be governed remains to be seen.
Either way, corrupt politicians and the partisan shills that supported them will be the cause of the failure.
