I remember during the republi-CON convention in San Diego in 1996 - the one in which Bob Dole became the anointed one. What a bunch of hooey. That was the Gidget-Goes-to-the-GOP-Convention year (susan molinari delivering a HUGELY embarrassing keynote speech). Li'l liddy was featured as a speaker. Much was made of her stepping out from behind the podium with a hand-held microphone, and strolling around while she delivered her speech - her "Oprah" moment, I suppose. The press was all over it as though she was some Second Coming or something. She was briefly gushed over as a potential presidential candidate. YAWN...what a joke.

But on the other hand, if this is how she runs things, then she's done us all a favor. Nice to see that her big chance at managing a large and very public campaign bit the dust.
