Dreams of a brokered convention dance in their heads

More speculative buzz this morning about whether Jeb Bush might still run in 2012. Steve M. ponders the possibility that the so-called bi-partisan Big Money Americans Elect is behind the mysterious Jeb push. That seems to be the most plausible theory to me, assuming Jeb is stupid enough to go for it. But he's supposed to be the smart one.

Meanwhile my brokered convention theory gets a big boost with the launch of a Brokered Convention blog. Run by conservatives who are really wishing they can have one. And where I discovered Krazy Kristol is pulling for my favored dark horse, Chris Christie.

And speaking of New Jersey's gasbag governor, the twitter tells me he was spewing his trademark bombastic bullshit on Morning Joe today. Not sure if these remarks were made there or in some other interview, but Christie wistfully admits he wishes "Mitt Romney could be 'a little edgier and bolder.'

But he concedes, Mitt has gotta be Mitt, and there Christie, the ever so loyal Romney man, sits. A VP in waiting who's primed to jump in, if he should just happen to be drafted as the savior of the party this summer.
