I'm amazed he did that well....

I read a story yesterday that hinted at a brokered convention with Jeb Bush being a surprise nominee.
THEY can't be that stupid.

Oh yes they can.. They'll float it, anyway.

They need Jebbie to finish up some of the loose ends laying around..

What they don't know is it will destroy the party. It will literally be the end.

Nobody is going to support this.. They may as well just hand Obama another 4 years.

I believe it will be a brokered convention. How it will play out is hard to say.

[Filmania]

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.

I think it will be a brokered convention if it looks like it's going against the establishment. Well, that's a real problem.. But it gets much larger if they pick someone from outside the current field.

Bring in an outsider, and that's it.. People are going to say their votes don't matter.. That the whole thing is rigged..

And they'll be right.

Well, in the first place, you and I don't agree that Obama faces certain defeat. I think he is the front-runner, versus any GOP candidate.

But that's how it's supposed to be. It's the party's candidate. Those who have put in the time and effort in the party get to decide who their nominee will be. The rest of us get the chance to pick, but if we can't pull our heads out of our asses and do it, they take it upon themselves to fix the problem. That's how it's always been. That's why you should get involved with the party if you want your opinion to matter. Your vote only counts if it counts.

Going beyond the party, your vote doesn't count for the presidential election anyway. The Founders set it up so you don't get to decide. The Electors decide. If they didn't like the way the popular vote went and decided to put somebody else in, they could do so. You get to pick the Electors, but they aren't truly bound to follow the will of the people that elected them.

We are not a democracy. We are a representative republic.

He's already outspent ALL of the GOP primary candidates put together 2 to 1. He's got more money than any politician has ever had to run his campaign. Beating that machine is going to be a tall order.

[taesrom]

he's already racking up delegates faster than any other.
