Depends upon the year, the mix of resolutions and the mood of the 
convention.  In 1991, for instance, I'd say there was a pretty 
rip-roaring debate on my "blind in the military, even, where 
feasible, in combat" resolution.  It brought out the conscientious 
objectors, the pacifists, those who thought the blind could not do 
the job and the patriots including one Vietnam veteran who became 
blind during his tour, tried to re-up for another Vietnam tour and 
wasn't allowed to.  That ended in a rollcall vote!
Also, in Anaheim, you will remember the UBC resolution.  I'd say 
that got a debate.  And I've seen some state conventions where 
resolutions were hotly debated also.
