Synopsis
The tenth episode of the limited series "Tanner 88," which provides a satiric look at the campaign of Jack Tanner, a fictional candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. In this segment, time is running out for the former congressman. The Democratic convention is almost certain to give Dukakis a first-ballot nomination -- unless Tanner can mount a successful challenge to the delegate rules, thus shifting the balance of power. At the same time, the candidate and campaign manager, T.J. Cavanaugh, weigh their dwindling options, which include the possibility of an alliance with the Jackson team, or some sort of deal with the front-runner, whose camp proposes some intriguing possibilities.
