Brokered Convention - Republican Race

Guardian: Reports on the prospects of a Brokered Convention, that being no Candidate having a majority of the delegates by the times of the Republican Convention, the article states the following on such an event, “ ..used to be common.. But the last truly brokered convention in American politics happened in 1952. ”. This would allow a new Candidate to take the nomination, but it would be risky, all the baggage of the Candidates have been exposed in the nomination race, a new candidate would not have been tested. On the other hand it would limit the damage the Democrats could do, they could not define the Nominee before the Convention, it would give the Republican Convention a buzz, the media would be all over it, thus a chance for a new Nominee to get good press. But since the modern ERA, it has been down to delegate count, lets recall Ronald Reagan only lost to President Ford by a hundred delegates, still more chance that either Romney or Gingrich will be the nominee, the good money on Romney.
