[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] While the TV ratings for the RNC could take a positive bump, just as they have since the Debates' organizers have allowed partisanship from the audience, a brokered convention would represent a return to the "old days of the smoke filled room" for selecting a ticket. Only likely positive; no smoke in the room. The primary system, which was gestating during 1952 (as I recall, Taft had more delegates than Ike, but the elders knew they had better chance to win with Ike, so they "did what they had to do in the room" and gave Ike the nomination), was intended to give party members a good say as to who their candidates will be, just as the voters have the final say in whom is elected. The party members who vote for a particular candidate in a primary must recognize if such candidate is electable. To vote for a candidate who is not, is simply throwing their vote to the wind and will be a return to now "the smoke free room". [/QB][/QUOTE]
