You may have noticed, if you watched, the young people bring
in the flags at the start of the Democratic convention. We
have a very similar thing worked out with the young aides
from each of the delegations who will bring the flags in and
we should have just as good a youth look as did the Democrats.
9.
We have the question of what we put on the front of our podium.
We think we're going to go with the United States seal rather
than with the mod-looking Republican elephant.
10.
In Senator Lawton Chiles' opening remarks he made reference
to the fact that there was no prepared script for this convention,
nor were there any rigged demonstrations, no yes men, no
friends of politicians, etc. We must be careful not to overstage
our convention. What we do is going to look slicker and
more railroaded than the Democrats, just because of the kind
of convention we're going to lave. Our extra touches should be
applied carefully, not to exemplify our convention being only
a party, a multi-million dollar fiesta.
11.
If we're lucky they'll keep letting Jerry Reuben and Hoffman
on the floor. Hoffman's calling the President a Nazi and that
we have to get out of the White House does nothing but help us.
They undoubtedly will want to get on the floor of the Republican
convention and maybe we ought to let them on the floor, then the
delegates could boo them out and we could have them removed.
12.
The Democrats had about a 15-minute musical number after
Lawton Chiles spoke. The networks went completely off the
convention, did floor interviews and never really came back
until Larry O'Brien appeared which was thirty minutes to
forty-five minutes after Chiles' speech. We've got to keep
ours much tighter. However, 'we've got to program the time
for the commercial breaks and some floor time. When we go
to long delays, that's when we've got to arrange for something
to be happening either at a hotel, at an airport or somewhere.
13.
The look of their convention is standard very much like one
of the '68 conventions. The emphasis is on the party of the people.
The delegates for the most part look very neat, attractive, are
articulate and obviously intelligent. They are not necessarily the
bums that we thought would be there.
