2008 US Democratic Convention Article

I recently read this absolutely ridiculous, but accurate and entertaining, article about the history of the democratic convention.  It talks about the 1924 deadlock, and the number of ballots every year since then.  This year’s convention should be interesting because neither candidate has enough delegates to win. 

The last time it took more than one ballot to nominate a candidate: 1952

The record number of ballots: 103 (1924)
