Actually, this could very well be true. I remember one convention which I skipped
because I knew my candidate
would come in with over 60% of the vote. I did not "get it" that candidates like to
have a higher convention
vote to guage whether they are still in the good graces of their supporters. My
candidate won but did tell me
that I needed to have been there.

12 hours on Saturday in daycare is really more than kids can tolerate. They want to
