The rude Fat Man, Chris Christie, will be their first speaker. He should get them off to a rip-roaring start. Any inhibitions will be quickly dispelled with after the Rude Governor works the crowd into a fever pitch.
And all the former candidates will be sitting in the crowd with their fingers crossed. Down deep, they would all like one more chance at being the candidate of their Party. Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, and Ron Paul will be shaking hands and smiling, hoping that Mitt doesn't have the votes to get the nomination. Michele Bachman will be holding court with all the Tea Partiers, praying for one last chance to be the next President.
They will have one thing in common - their hatred for Barack Obama. In front of the TV cameras, they will show a united front. When the cameras are pointed elsewhere, they will have daggers and ice picks aimed at each others' backs. They have been dreaming since the tax return debate started that they would have one more chance to be President of the United States. They will do their best to persuade as many Republicans as possible that Mitt Romney is not ready or qualified to be President.
They have dreamed of a brokered convention and here they sit. One last opportunity to make history. Mitt Romney stands in the way. It should be a lot of fun to watch...

I would love to be wrong, but it will not surprise me if people get killed.
