The first ballot is held. No one gains the requisite votes for nomination.
Our Lady of Wasilla gives a speech that wows the crowd. About half-way through, chants of “run, sarah, run” are heard under the applause.
About three-quarters of the way through, no applause is heard, because every pause is filled with “RUN, SARAH, RUN!”
She doesn’t get to finish the speech— the text is later published in her Presidential Memoirs— because she can’t get a word in with all the “RUN, SARAH, RUN!”
She steps away from the podium, and the MC gavels the place into some sort of order— at least to the point when the PA can be heard over the crowd. This takes 38 minutes. Two major networks cut away...
..and miss the part where the MC places the name of Sarah Heath Palin into nomination; the chairman of the Alaska delegation seconds, and the nomination is made “by acclamation.”
In my dreams... but I’ll be waiting.
Any scenarios where delegates veer off at the convention from the candidate their constituents voted for, and the delegates pledged to support following the State Primaries will most likely involve Ron Paul, not Sarah Palin.
Sounds excellent.
