I agree with Mark Steyn that if Bush isn’t beatable, the nomination will go to Gephardt. If Bush can be beat, it’ll be Hillary. None of this bunch will get enough votes to win on the first ballet.

How long has it been since we saw a convention actually choose the candidate, rather than the whole thing being pre-decided in the primaries?

I just don’t see it happening, not with today’s highly-scripted conventions. It just looks bad, especially in time of war.

I don’t know who the candidate will be, but I’m certain we’ll know by June at the latest.
