      Brokered convention for the win!

              would Sherrod flip Ohio or is it too far gone to even vote for one of their own?

                Dump won it by over 150,000 votes. It's a goner for sure if a centrist is nominated, IMO.

                    And? No offense but no one else is lighting the world on fire.

                    The Dems need ratings man...their Nielsen numbers suck! Brokered Convention will be like the Super Bowl! They need intrigue and crazy storylines...not Old White Man argues with Old White Man while Young White Man and White Women look on.

                    Think of all the craziness...every speech could endorse anyone or no one! Random people could all of a sudden just be named and added to the vote. Every character has a shot for every supporting role! The back stabbing, the out of left field choices and the SURPRISES!! A brokered convention is the TV Show America wants and the Dems need! They dont want boring old crap they want American Idol!

                      American Idol is boring old crap. They want Satyricon.

                        Sherrod isn't a "centrist"

                        scoring a 5.92 out of 100 in his lifetime ACU rating, ranking him among the most liberal senators. He’s rated 13 out of 100 by the NRA, 4 percent lifetime by Club for Growth, 3 percent by Americans for Prosperity, 2 percent by NumbersUSA, a zero by the Center for Security Policy, a zero by the American Energy Alliance, and a zero by Citizens Against Government Waste.

                        He’s rated 100 percent lifetime — meaning he’s never voted against their preferred position — by Planned Parenthood and NARAL (abortion), the Brady Campaign (gun control), the Human Rights Campaign (gay rights), the National Education Association (teacher’s unions), National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association (government workers and spending), Council on Islamic-American Relations, the Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund, a 93 percent out of 100 by the League of Conservation Voters, and anywhere from 83 to 100 by various labor unions.

                            A brokered convention gets us Moneybags vs POS Wannabe Moneybags. If there is no winner on the first ballot Mike buys enough delegates to win (he'll already own most superdelegates who would come back into play) and he's the nominee. No drama, no TV show. It wouldnt be American Idol so much as a boring episode of Shark Tank.

                            No matter who wins in November it would signal the end of our Republic. Not that most of you care.

                                I will too, happily, and that should tell everybody something.
