Conventions Sold Out To TV Says Jim Bishop
Jim Bishop argues that the 1980 national conventions became television shows rather than political events. He critiques Democrats for a dull two act display and Republicans for a cheap circus, blaming networks and pundits for shaping voters and diminishing sober governance. He urges reducing network cameras and deriding the era of constant televised analysis.

A Call for a Binding National Primary System
Washington columnist Ray Cromley argues for a binding national primary with a runoff if no candidate exceeds 40 percent, eliminating delegates and crossovers. He contends this would ensure a known, experienced nominee and reduce momentum-driven picks. He notes current momentum favors early primary wins and calls for voter-elected presidents.
