Dewey won the nomination. A national convention provides a city with a substantial public relations and economic boost (Chicago and San Diego, sites of the 1996 conventions, each tallied well over $100 million in direct economic benefits) so there is intensive wooing. First, most of the national convention delegates are now selected by voters in primary contests rather than by party caucuses and meetings. www.gwu.edu /~action/chrnconv.html   (551 words)

Better Living: Thoughts from Mark Daniels: Thoughts on the Political Conventions One only has to remember Abraham Ribicoff's speech at the 1968 Democratic National Convention, when he incited the wrath of Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago. It is good that the slovenly appearances of delegates to the early-television era conventions have been replaced by people who appear to have bathed, changed their clothing within the previous forty-eight hours, and seem not to be hungover. Today, the conventions are set pieces, pep rallies with sound bites, occasions when everybody smiles for the cameras and tries to appear united for the fall campaign. markdaniels.blogspot.com /2004/07/thoughts-on-political-conventions.html   (130 words)
