BREAKING NEWS: John Kerry wins Democratic nomination!
I thought I recalled from prior conventions that the state delegations ordered themselves in the roll call so that the nominee’s home state provided the votes necessary to clinch the nomination.
That didn’t happen this time; Massachusetts went first, followed by North Carolina. Ohio was the magic state this time around. Guess the powers that be wanted to make a statement about the importance of the swing state.
Brilliant move; one which will undoubtedly sway thousands of Ohio undecideds this November. Ha.
