Will the Republicans have a brokered convention? (Poll)

With tonight's exercise in ho-humness and futility by the Republican candidates it is apparent that none of them deserve to be a leader of anything, yet alone their own party.

Taking into account the Republican primary schedule, what do you think is the likely outcome of the Republican primary process?

There hasn't been a brokered convention in practically forever, despite the fact that such a thing is a recurring wet dream every four years.

The Republican field will shake out faster than you realize. Keep in mind that we are nearly a year from the convention itself, and there will be many primaries and caucuses between now and then. Who will be the front runner by that time, I haven't a clue. But some one of these clowns will win the nomination, probably with a substantial majority.
