@fawnjohnson The #DNC in '48 had a floor fight on civil rights. Southern delegates, led by Strom Thurmond, walked out & became Dixiecrats.
Have political parties ever before amended a platform on the floor of the convention? #DNC2012 Methinks it calls too much attention to it.

@fawnjohnson GOP hasn't done it since at least 1980. Don't know my history cold before that. -
@StevenJDuffield And now we know that this platform amendment is, if not unprecedented, at least unusual
