If the McGovern campaign had been a textbook example of what could go wrong would, the Nixon campaign ran like a well oiled machine.
If you listen to the journalist covering the convention they sound like they are covering the great turtle race. They are audibly struggling to keep things interesting. But if you love the pomp and circumstances of a national convention, which I do, you will still love all the fun of the roll call vote, the nominating speeches and the convention demonstrations.
It is the celebration of America.
Then after the foregone conclusion happens , the magic of television will take you to Maritime park in Miami for a concert featuring entertainer Sammy Davis Jr, as they go after the youth vote, which President Nixon had opened the doors for just the year before.
After Nixon was nominated he came down to the stage and delivered an inspiring speech watched around the world on television and on the big screens at the convention hall.
