Could one of you politically savvy people please explain to me what a split convention is? I realize how you get there, by neither candidate having the majority vote needed, but what exactly is the split convention, and how does the resolution on getting a candidate work?
A split convention is a term to worry one into choosing whichever candidate the person using the phrase was intending for you to. There will be a single convention (at least for the Democrats, haha, Ron Paul might try something crazy though, or maybe he's all talk) this year.
