John was heard muttering to Paul Nixon 
 about 1996 Elections 
 -> Brokered convention?  Open convention?
 JP> Love to see it.  But I believe that MOST delegates are bound by
 JP> various state laws to cast their votes for Dole, at least in the first
 JP> round. 
 I don't know the exact mechanics or rules to how it would work.
 Theoreticall I believe he's "locked up" enough delegates based on
 primary voting to win the nomination.
 JP> Sigh!  And I seriously doubt that Bob Dole will have the decency to
 JP> walk in front of a speeding bus between now and the convention.
 ...and his physician says he's in excellent health, so everybody
 praying for him to have a heart attack are gonna be disappointed.
 JP> I fear the Republicans are stuck with him.
 Only until after the voting...
... Turns out Clinton DOES want to take away our guns.
