14. I don't see it happening, even as a last minute wild card thing to throw off Obama

The Republicans would essentially have a logistics nightmare on their hand having to switch everything over to another candidate only 10 or 11 weeks before the election. Even if it were planned for Romney to step aside before the convention, it would somehow get leaked to the press once they started printing stuff. Maybe something like this could have happened before the advent of 24 hour news, the internet and mobile phones, but today I just can't see how they'd pull it off.
