Brokered Convention Blues (Limerick)
Some Republicans are worried they’ll be saddled with a brokered convention. And Newt Gingrich’s statement is upping their anxiety:
With just one full day of campaigning left until the Florida primary and polls indicating that Mitt Romney has substantially widened his lead in the Sunshine State, Newt Gingrich told reporters Sunday he is prepared to fight out the Republican presidential nomination all the way to a brokered convention.
“We have no evidence yet that Romney anywhere is coming close to getting a majority and I think when you take all the non-Romney votes, it’s very likely that at the convention there will be a non-Romney majority and maybe a very substantial one. My job is to convert that into a Gingrich majority,” Gingrich said.
Brokered Convention Blues (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
The thought of a brokered convention
Is creating Republican tension:
Will Mitt’s delegate count
Sufficiently mount
If Newt nixes a prez run suspension?

Mitt Romney will never stop
Blurting madness though he is a flop
People rush out the door
Saying we want no more
For he can’t measure up to his pop
Thanks for your fun limerick, Stephen!
The thought of a brokered convention
Causes even more GOP dissension
Republicans would kick Mitt in the tush
If only they could vote for Jeb Bush
Who might carry the party to redemption.
When Mitt plays political poker,
No doubt, he’s a hot one, a smoker.
With his wealth, tho’, fo’ sho’,
There’s a thing he can’t know:
The meaning (if any) of “broker.”
