With the Republican presidential nomination still up in the air, the
possibility of a brokered convention is looking
increasingly likely. Under the party’s rules, the delegates won by Mitt
Romney, Rick Santorum, and the others in the primaries and caucuses are
obligated to vote for their assigned candidate only on the first ballot. If no
candidate wins the required number of votes, the delegates can throw their
support to anyone. There’s speculation that party insiders, unhappy with the
current field, might float the candidacy of someone not now in the race, like
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie or Jeb Bush.
