Democratic 1924 has to be the most chaotic, disorganized political convention of the twentieth century, possibly of American history -- but, considering Coolidge was always going to win the general election, it may not have mattered all that much.
Democratic 1860, which split the party, arguably threw the election to Lincoln leading to the Civil War, is also up there.
In terms of oratory and the Convention shifting the identity of a party, Democratic 1896 has to be up there.
Since the events that took place there basically managed to kill off the Convention and replace it with a primary, Democratic 1968 also matters a great deal.
I think one of these four has to be the 'right' answer.
