40. Bingo...The "Adults" Will Take Over...
Fri Feb 17, 2012, 01:35 PM
Feb 2012

People throw around "brokered convention" like it's some kinda bypass around both the party and the system. Remember that the rushpublicans changed their primary system to be more like the Democrats...a system designed to put a majority of the delegates in the hands of the party elite. For every delegate selected there'll be two or three party aparachniks who will also be in that delegation.

If it comes to a brokered convention it'll be those aparachniks who will have the final say and, as you say, they're not going to nominate someone who already has lost and it can be shown that she probably cost gramps mccain Florida and several other "swing" states. The good ole boys will find one of their own and Mooselini will fade further into oblivion.

I get a kick that most times she shows up on Faux these days its on their "Business" channel that no one watches...she's gone from "mustsee TV" to third tier cable.
