I know what you mean Richard, I couldn’t even bring myself to watch the debate because I knew it was going to be quite boring without someone knocking those other knuckle heads around.

[...] tip to Curt at Flopping Aces, who expresses my feelings as well. While its fun to speculate about a brokered convention, I doubt [...]

As a simple blog commenting adict I have no way to influence the eventual outcome so I won’t tease myself by even considering this possibility. I mean, yeah it could happen just because I think it would be like God’s decision to make the platypus just to screw with us and our preconcieved notions.

marc, I just snarfed all over my monitor when I read that. How unfair. Ron Paul’s perfectly sane.

There, gotcha back

“Or rather, to be less hyperbolic, about half of the Republican party finds him unacceptable.”

Paul “unacceptable?” Is that the new definition of Batshit crazy?

Its a long shot but if it were to happen Fred would be the odds on favorite. Ron Paul? Like BB said, the Republican establishment is NOT behind the man, thank god.

No, because everyone and their dog apparently hates Paul. Or rather, to be less hyperbolic, about half of the Republican party finds him unacceptable. To be nominated at a brokered convention you’d want the opposite attribute: be the *least* unacceptable candidate. Fred may well fit that bill. Though I think his perceived electability (or lack thereof) would hurt him.But a brokered convention is looking less likely as time goes by. If Giuliani manages to pull out a couple of wins, say in NY and NJ or FL or something, things could still split evenly enough for that – but right now it looks like Romney and McCain will split most of the delegates, and the odds that that split is even enough that one of the other contenders holds the balance of power are looking smaller day by day.

Doesn’t this scenario fit Ron Paul better than Fred?
