I am curious about the specific rules about nominating candidates at the Republican convention. IF they continue with this 3-4-5 way standoff and no one goes to the convention with the votes needed...can they just pick someone who has not campaigned? Could Darrell Issa or Mike Huckabee or even Chris Christie or Mitch McConnell or John Boehner 'reluctantly' be nominated?
   I am sure it would be awkward in SOME ways, but might there be an advantage in springing someone who had not been tarnished with all this sad campaigning and who doesn't (immediately) look like a clown?
   I have been voting since 1960, and I have never seen such a situation where either party has almost given up before the primaries even begin.
