So I was just looking it up in Wikipedia. It says that this year a Brokered Convention is seen as more likely to happen with Republicans than Democrats. Also says:

"Secondly, political parties wish to avoid the negative publicity from a brokered convention, which has turned the nominating conventions from the rough-and-tumble affairs to the infomercial-type occasions they are today.<7> Thus, a candidate nominated from the brokered convention will be seen as weak and must climb additional hurdles to gain election."

I don't want our party to end up with a weaker candidate, so I have to say just reading this lessens my desire for a brokered convention even if that's what it would take to get my candidate the win. I want a democratic president and I'm willing to sacrifice a certain amount to get one. However I won't give up on Edwards till he gives in, if ever. I'm torn. Better use the dilemma smiley

:dilemma:

On the other hand, if the same thing happens to Repugs then we're not any worse off than they are.
