An actor, pretending to be blase, puts on a whiny voice and sings, "It's time to be theatrical again/ It's time to pull out all the stops again."

Bob Strauss, the former national chairman and a man well suited to wield the kingmaker's mace, thinks Nunn could pull off a variation of the turn-to scenarios.
