DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: Four years ago, the Republicans met in San Diego and some of the action at that convention really caught the attention of political observers. "CNN 20" now takes a look back.</s>CHARLES BIERBAUER, CNN SR. CORRESPONDENT: Conventions are, sort of, like the World Series of politics and everybody's there and the bunting is hanging and the balloons are dropping from the rafters.</s>BETH FOUHY, CNN EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: 1996, the most memorable moment for people was Elizabeth Dole, doing her walk off the stage, Oprah style, and talking about how she wanted to speak personally about the man that she loves.</s>ELIZABETH DOLE: About the man I love ...</s>BIERBAUER: It was Elizabeth Dole, his wife, who really stole the show with this Oprah-like wandering through the audience in a very free form...</s>ROBERT NOVAK, "CAPITAL GANG": One of the great memories that I've had in many conventions was just at the last convention, 1996 Republicans in San Diego. He said Bob Dole's on the phone. He said, what would you think of Jack Kemp for vice president?</s>JUDY WOODRUFF, CNN SR. CORRESPONDENT: People really thought that Jack Kemp was not going to be the choice. Then we started, some of us were doing some reported. We started hearing the name more and more, it's going to be Jack Kemp.</s>NOVAK: Well, I said, I think it'd be a great ticket and he said, well, he said, I think there's a good chance it'll happen.</s>BILL PRESS, CO-HOST, "CROSSFIRE": It was wild, actually, in '96, for me to be at a big Republican convention, nothing like the political conventions and nothing like the way CNN covers it.
