LONG SPOONS MEASURING DESPERATION
The Republican Party and its
presidential contenders
now at their respective "Rubicons"
by Richard E. Berg-Andersson TheGreenPapers.com Staff

It was late in the evening session of the third day of the 1968 Republican National Convention in Miami Beach, Florida when the Roll Call of the States on Presidential Nomination began: although various and sundry GOP operatives and allies of former Vice-President Richard Nixon's campaign for President had, early that day, publicly predicted a relatively easy victory on the First Ballot for the losing 1960 GOP standard-bearer with, perhaps, more than 700 votes from among the assembled delegates (at least 33 more than the 667 Nixon would need in order to be nominated), the inner circle within Nixon's own campaign was not quite so sure as the Convention Secretary first called out "Alabama! 26 votes!" and the chair of the Republican delegation from 'the Heart of Dixie' began to publicly announce the presidential preferences of its delegation (splitting the ....

Calling an 'audible' taken right out of the playbook of his mentor, Ronald Reagan (who had done pretty much the same thing 40 years ago in his own- at the time, seemingly desperate- attempt to wrest the Republican presidential nomination from the apparent front-runner), Senator Ted Cruz [R-Texas] today named former Hewlett-Packard CEO (and one-time contender for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination herself) Carly Fiorina as his choice for the vice-presidential slot on this year's Republican national ticket should it turn out Cruz, indeed, ends up as the GOP standard-bearer at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland this coming July.

It remains to be seen, of course, whether or not this latest gambit by the current runner-up in the GOP presidential nomination race will advance his presidential campaign any better than that of Reagan back in 1976 (Reagan ended up failing to wrest any delegates away from incumbent President Ford with his having named then-Pennsylvania Senator Richard Schweiker as his running mate ahead of the Bicentennial year's Republican National Convention: of course, Reagan would go on to become the Republican standard-bearer four years later and would, in the end, be elected to two terms as President of the United States).

LOOKING AHEAD Part Two: the DEMOCRATS
by Richard E. Berg-Andersson TheGreenPapers.com Staff

Likewise, it may seem equally hard to believe that, exactly three months from the day this one is posted (in fact, the next time the 25th of a month will fall on a Monday), the 2016 Democratic National Convention will be first gaveled into session in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

In Part One of LOOKING AHEAD, I noted the following:

The Democrats have ever been what they say they are: champions of democracy as unfettered as possible-- letting as many amongst The People, regardless of station or status, participate as directly as possible in the political process and generally (with admittedly some exceptions, mainly those that oxymoronically "prove the rule") supporting such things as ....

As a republic, this country's leadership selection process is inherently, and by definition, proxy or indirect representation- starting with the Electoral College. Thankfully, we have had a stable dominant two-party process...
