  Favorite son - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At some point during the convention the favorite son would withdraw, leaving the delegates free to support another candidate.
Since the days of open conventions were largely replaced in the 1960s with nationwide campaigns by candidates and binding primary elections, the Favorite Son has fallen out of use.
It is of importance that the term favorite son can refer both to a man or a woman.

A grande maioría dos sons son combinacións de sinais, pero un son teoricamente puro pode ser descrito a través dunha determinada velocidade de oscilación (ou frecuencia) medida en Hertz (Hz, tamén chamados hercios) e amplitude (ou a súa relacionada enerxía) a través de medidas como o nivel de decibeis.
Os sons son utilizados de diversos modos, nomeadamente para comunicación a través da fala ou, por exemplo, música.
A amplitude dunha onda sonora mídese en pascal e a intensidade dun son mídese en decibeis en relación á escala citada.

 Daily Home - Little E a favorite son
Before his tragic death he had already established himself as a favorite of Alabama race fans, and his record as the winningest driver in Talladega Superspeedway history was a way to give back the love.
But I think another reason he has become the unofficial home state favorite of the Heart of Dixie is because he represents a good cross-section of what being a Southerner is all about — he's a little country, a little wild, very proud and pretty cool.
It'll be a fitting tribute that our adopted favorite son will be honored on the site named for another favorite son.

 Softbank: A Favorite Son Once More?
A somewhat-humbled Son has spent the last five years recovering from the dot.com bust and trying to reposition Softbank once again -- this time as a more tightly focused telecommunications provider.
Son may be no longer viewed as a visionary dot.com guru in Japan, but by coming up with a far more workable company strategy he's starting to regain some of the respect he lost.
Although the unit is still losing money, Son says he's confident of a turnaround -- but for now he still faces plenty of competition.

France got rid of its royalty 150 years ago but if kings were to make a comeback, Zinedine Zidane would be hot favorite to be first on the throne.
That victory in Paris was also a defining moment in modern French life and Zidane, the son of Algerian immigrants, became a symbol for many of how French society should evolve.
A poll in 2000 showed Zidane was France's favorite personality, ahead of an 87-year-old Catholic priest who gave up a wealthy life to care for the poor.

What emerges is a portrait of a rare and vital personality whose tireless good works and boundless creativity have indelibly marked the history of both rock music and the world, as well as the personal trajectories of those whose lives have been touched by him.

 Favorite Son
Not just from his mother, though it’s a favorite catchphrase of hers, but from critics and fans and Philly boosters who have long viewed him as a rising star.
Even though the hype makes him and wife Megan Bellwoar uncomfortable — "If he were an accountant would we be getting this attention?" asks Bellwoar — there’s no arguing that right now, with three shows running in three different cities, he’s in the middle of a kind of harmonic convergence.
It is a charming scene, but what’s best about it isn’t the parable: it’s the fact that the fisherman, while conversing, is drinking his vodka with a spoon.

Also attending are Brian Bohanon, Gabe White and Mike Myers from the Rockies, James Mouton and Sean Berry (Milwaukee Brewers), John Hudek (Houston Astros) and Steve Carlton (Philadelphia Phillies).
Though it is one of several events planned for the weekend -- including a dinner/auction slated for later that night at Rock Crusher Canyon, the Family Day is clearly one of Hampton's favorite events.

 Jim Reviews: "Favorite Son"
Harry admits the place does have its charms, but thoughts of Libby and the suddenly displaced position of his mother keep him focused on his questions, despite the attentions of the ladies (who already seem to be jockeying for position to be his favorite).
Her eyes light up like flares, her mouth crinkles at the corners in anticipation, every cell in her body swells with anticipation when she gets to utter her favorite of all favorite words:
Taresia, Janeway, and Mama Kim all considered Harry their "Favorite Son"--that's what his dreams were all about.
