“...he at least had to give his approval.”
You gotta think the candidate at the top of the ticket has a lot to say about the convention.
I did read today, regarding the R. convention that the “platform belongs to the party” not Romney, but let’s face it nobody but political junkies like us talk or care about the platform.
But, as to what’s going to be seen on TV, I’m sure those candidates have full veto power over it. The Presidential candidates are the ones who will really be judged based on their party’s convention.
Exactly, they have to have veto power, not just for himself but for other candidates he favors.
Obama had to be the one to approve this if not the one who instigated it in conjunction with Ellison.
