repeats the story (often heard on Fox News) of how Governor Robert
Casey of Pennsylvania was barred from speaking at the 1992 Democratic
National Convention "because of his outspoken defense of human
life." In fact, Casey was denied a turn at the podium because he
would not endorse the party's nominee, Bill Clinton (see
"Casey Closed," the New Republic, September 16 & 23,
1996). Casey called the party's selection of Clinton
"tragic," and urged that the convention ignore the choice of
the primary voters and select an alternate candidate. To allow Casey to
speak would have been bizarre, especially in an age in which conventions
are little more than long infomercials for the presidential nominee In United States politics and government, the phrase presidential nominee has two distinct meanings.
The first is somebody chosen by the primary voters and caucus-goers of this party to be the party's nominee for President of the United States. .
