Wrong. Mitt Romney and his political team have virtually complete control of the convention, including the assignment of coveted speaking spots. Romney forces will also have quite a lot of influence over the party’s platform. RNC Chair Reince Priebus has selected the leadership of the Platform Committee.
Governor Bob McDonnell of Virginia will serve as Chairman. Senator John Hoeven of North Dakota and Representative Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee will serve as Co-Chairmen. They are all Romney supporters.
You miss the point: it’s not Romney’s convention. A much more insidious force is behind the exclusion of Palin: the GOP.
Yep. The convention is the candidate’s showcase. In modern times, that’s just how it is. Speaking of practical politics.
