The Fat Lady Ain't Singing YET

A reminder about how Democratic Party Conventions go
 
In the 1952 Democratic Party presidential primaries, Estes Kefauver of Tennessee won all but three state primaries. He received 3.1 million votes.
 
Democratic presidential nominee, Illinois governor Adlai Stevenson, received only 78,000 votes.
 
Guess who won the nomination at the convention.

 

Adlai Stevenson, that's who.
