    Did you win the (US presidential) nomination at the convention?
    Dunno the first. Take a DQ.
    If you don't object to the answer, it's Jackie Wilson (from the song "Jackie Wilson Said" aka "I'm in Heaven When You Smile")

    DQ is : Do you currently hold an elected office (this also should include someone who holds an office that would normally require election, even if they were appointed to the current term, e.g. a U.S. Senator filling a vacancy)?
