[QUOTE="Judge Bean, post: 9189, member: 42"] [b]2004 Elections[/b] Also, the conventions now are beside the point, because there is no such thing left as American politics. There is only p.r., hype, ads, soundbites, photo ops, spin, buzz, lowered expectations and foregone conclusions. In the 1960s, they apparently decided that it was too risky to leave the conventions "open" in the sense of leaving the nominations contested right up to rollcall voting on the third night. No one was able to pick the VP candidate ahead of time, because no one knew for sure who was going to lose the nomination. You had to put a ticket together on the floor. This made things exciting and edgy... and open to political processes. Now its Oscar night, air kisses and high fashion. This is not just symptomatic of this day and age; it plainly shows that politics is now anecdotal. We are history. They'll never again risk the chance that crowds in the street and the unruly public voice will have anything at all to do with the choice for president. Nurse, hand me my food tube. [/QUOTE]
