Diary: Brokered Convention

Boy, for Ron Paul supporters, this primary is a difficult time. There are those who keep the faith and then there are those who are upset at either the MSM, the Establishment or Corporate America. Remember, faith can move mountains, but has a difficult time moving the Republican Party. My overall favorites are the guys who keep the faith. They are easier to deal with in everyday life. I for one, am hoping that RP is the sly fox they would have you believe. This would make this primary the most exciting one ever. Unfortunately, my hope doesn't run that deep. I am beginning to see a trend though. It appears quite obvious that the Huckster will drop out due to not having the funding to continue. That will leave McCain & Romney going back and forth trading places as frontrunner, both with about 40-45 percent of the delegates, leaving Paul with a solid 10-15%. I don't see either frontrunner attacking RP anymore, but rather trying to appeal to his percentage of followers. Unfortunately for the frontrunners, RP's people are really dedicated and can't be bought, but they can be handed to either guy depending on the changes they make in their platform. This will put RP in the role of Kingmaker and the new Republican King will most likely be the next POTUS. So, in order to win the nomination, either McC or the Romulan will have to bend a little and take some of the RP platform along with them. I see "100 years in Iraq McCain" as the more inflexible of the two, whereas flip Romney is a known "bend with the wind" type of politician. I feel that the Romulans will bend knee to the Ronulans in order to take the nomination. RP supporters have the power to give either candidate the votes they need to cinch the nomination. What do you think?
