Ditto. I got mentally hung up on VP's.
Funny someone should mention Gary Hart. We originated the news conference live for NBC when he dropped out of the race. The notice was very short. Our mobile unit was parked around the corner from the rest of the stations, and when the Secret Service and DPD started milling aroud us, I called the station and got another photographer and camera and had the only live pics of him arriving at the back door of the hotel where the event took place.
As they say, precise planning and careful attention to detail seldom succeed like dumb luck.
We also did the pickup, and I directed, when Pat Schroeder dropped out in her now (in)famous crying speech.
She was/is an interesting woman and might deserve a place on the list. Although most either loved or hated her.
