Remember (people my age) the McGovern Dem convention? They shoehorned every possible minority and disadvantaged and underserved group into each state’s delegate mix. They degraded old time veteran organizers and long time party loyalists so they would get state delegate results to be things like 6 blacks, 6 women, 2 Latinos, 2 white male experienced canvassers and 1 age 18 first timer.
John Chancellor kept from laughing as he reported “Mr ///// of South Carolina has just been informed that he is no longer state chairman but is now one sixth state chairperson. It has not put him in a good mood tonight.”
Hilarious moment.
how do they always find one to say?
“But Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Jeff Kaufmann, who has always sided with his counterparts in the Iowa Democratic Party when it comes to protecting the state’s first-in-the-nation caucuses, said it’s better to be slow and right.”
