A Realistic Strategy for a Brokered Convention

luvthedoc08 said:
this is a good thread, discuss this more, we need a very specific and well thought out strategy, if some of the senior members can agree upon something and write a comprehensive guideline that will go a long way

Yeah i expect the strategy to evolve as it goes. I think this should be an all-out effort. Meet-ups, websites, youtubes, talk radio, the works. McCain has to be stopped.

McCain's going to get covered with mud regardless, he already is. Which reminds perhaps we can get Rush and friends in on this. After all, they want to stop McCain. For the GOP, speaking in the long term, it might be better if they drop this election to Hillary. Let the Dems do their thing w/ the war, come back with a fresh start and nominate say, a Mark Sanford, a staunch fiscal conservative who isn't viewed as crazy, fair or not. Obviously that's assuming RP doesn't win the nomination.

Hillary is the devil. I wouldn't vote for Obama, but he's acceptable.
They're about tied right now, and Obama won Super Tuesday.

I'm sure that Huckabee would be in favor of the idea that Romney and Paul supporters vote for Huck in those states where Huck is #2. Why wouldn't Rush?

They could go on air and explain situational voting within the context of STOP MCCAIN.

It's a fairly simple concept. Look at the polls in your state. Vote for whoever of the top 2 guys isn't McCain.
 
my Point Is That, I Trust The Campaign And Will Stand Behind Their Decicions, Not Behind Some Internet Guy...

This Campaign Is Not Here For The First Time, They Have Had The Same Plan From The Beginning And It Think They Know What They Are Doing, So I Stand Behind Them.

If You Think Your Idea Is The Best, You Should Contact The Campaign With It, Not Spread It Around Here Anonymously...

The campaign can't do this. Talk about unethical/shady/something RP would never do. But, It's the only option. Blindly believing there is going to be a brokered convension is crazy. CRAZY
 
Read my Missouri example. Do you think Ron Paul wanted John McCain or Mike Huckabee to win that 58 delegate prize. Easy, Huck. If 1/3 of our voters go to Huck, he wins. This loss hurt very bad.

This will have to done through meetups and any other way possible. People will have to understand a vote for Huck or Romney is a vote for Ron Paul. By voting for Ron Paul you are voting for John McCain. I do see McCain and Huckabee teaming up to stop this by Huck getting the VP. McCain should realize however that any ticket with Huckabee can't win. The guy is unelectable in a general election as P or VP

Another way to try to spread the STOP MCCAIN strategy is with Huckabee's supporters, Romney's supporters, any political messageboard where Republicans who don't want McCain gather.

The first stage of this process
1) STOP MCCAIN by situational voting
applies equally to everyone.

Looks like the real first stage is removing the blind faith the convention will broker itself...thanks for the help
