I think it will be a brokered convention if it looks like it's going against the establishment.
Delegates decide the nominee, not the straw polls.
From some of what I've read, although Ron Paul is losing all the caucus and primaries, he appears to be gaining delegates favorable to him.
If so, the convention should prove both interesting and enlightening.
And like J-hoff said, it could be the death knell of the establishment GOP if Obama wins in the face of certain defeat.
