"But . . . that brings up the most important pre-convention question that we can consider, and that question is : 'Who is going to determine the [candidate's] fitness and how is it going to be determined?' " A political lone wolf who has spent a lifetime shunning partisan alignments, Senator Borah naturally feared that the Republican nominee might be chosen "in secret conclave behind closed doors long after midnight."
