Kathryn Lopez quotes John J. Miller's National Review cover story, in which he argues that placing Ridge, Lieberman, Crist, or Huckabee on the ticket could quite easily lead to a convention floor fight: "If majorities of just six state delegations to the national convention in the Twin Cities revolt, they can force a floor vote on an alternative to McCain's choice - and deal a bad blow to a campaign that probably can't afford more than a few missteps between now and November."
