The Campaign Trail: Decision 2000
The Republican National Convention
In the wake of a disastrous primary campaign between Governor George W. Bush and Senator John McCain, the Republican National Convention has been deadlocked! Uncommitted delegates make up a majority of the convention, but Bush leads McCain in the official counts. Power players, such as George H.W. Bush, Newt Gingrich, Dick Cheney, and many others hold significant sway in how the convention will select its next nominee. The first task this committee must complete is selecting a winning ticket, one President and one Vice President. The committee will then run a campaign against whomever the eventual Democratic nominee will be. Delegates must also decide the future of the direction the Republican Party will take through continuously working on their party platform. Will Republicans win the White House in November?
