15 seconds of fame, sort of
ST. PAUL — When the gavel hammers down to close this evening’s session of the Republican National Convention, it will be in the sure hands of an Ohioan — Rep. John Boehner of West Chester.
However, it is unlikely that anyone in the television viewing audience will see this historic event as it will occur immediately following the speech by Sarah Palin, Sen. John McCain’s vice presidential running mate, and the TV cameras will doubtless be turned to the networks’ own commentators dissecting the Alaska governor’s remarks.
Such has often been the fate of Ohioans during this convention season. Gov. Ted Strickland had the misfortune of following the keynote address by former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner at the Democratic National Convention in Denver and his remarks went unviewed on most television sets.
