[edit] Format

I like the format of the Democratic National Convention page better (e.g., including the List of Conventions within the page instead of on its own). Anyone object to making them match, specifically by making this one match the Demo page? - Jeff Worthington 20:20, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't know why they're separated. No immediate objections come to mind on my part at the moment. Settler 01:05, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, now that the List of Republican National Conventions article has been improved, I'm removing the list from this article. I originally inserted it shortly after the comment of mine I'm replying to. Settler (talk) 14:00, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] John Chancellor Incident

It was the convention where NBC News correspondent John Chancellor (who would later helm the :NBC Nightly News) refused to cede his spot on the floor for a group of young Goldwater :supporters, finally signed off when security personnel arrived with: "I've been promised bail, :ladies and gentlemen, by my office. This is John Chancellor, somewhere in custody."

This is an interesting incident, but doesn't seem very encyclopedic, especially considering the size of the whole article. 66.27.78.65 (talk) 21:17, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
