(;59 a.m.) - KvM has an interesting assessment of the scenario at the 6th District convention this weekend. Worth noting.
While Mr. Esmay certainly has the makings of an up-and-comer in the GOP ranks, it’s unlikely the convention will find itself deadlocked regardless of where Bachmann places at the end of the first ballot. If whoever finishes second does so with some distance from the third place contender, a real endorsement race is more than possible. But if Krinkie and Knoblach find themselves essentially tied for second with Bachmann ahead by any sizeable margin, consider the balloting battle not to last more than 3 or 4 rounds.
