I didn’t know this:

Most people are ignoramuses.

But I didn't get the story directly from the internet,

it was reported on virtually every news show on cable, form Hardball to the Situation Room to Countdown to ...and agin,

if y9u don't know who Roger Simon is, you shouldn't be commenting on politics.

And that last comment is the reason so many do not participate in the political forum. You cite cable TV as the oracle of political information. Not everyone has access to or can afford cable TV. If people have questions about politics, like Flaja did, where are they supposed to ask them, in the Food forum?

I don't know who Roger (Imabigshotinmyownmind) whatshisname is either, and I don't care who he is. I wouldn't rely on him for info about the convention delegates no matter who he is. I'd go to the source and read the info contained in the Convention Rules found on the DNC website and make up my own mind rather than depend on some cable TV News entertainer to tell me what to think about it.

Good post. I had no idea who this guy was either (still don't), and I'm not going to waste my time looking.

Listen to the message, not the messenger.

Roxxxanne will never learn.

You don't have to have cable TV to know who Roger Simon is. Just go to politco.com. He is one of the most respected political journalists in the country. And Roger Simon is the one who broke the story.

Cyclo, he gets his information form "hearing" it. Why should he actually get the info first hand when he can listen to BOR, Limbaugh and Laura Ingraham on the radio? The ignorance of the electorate these days is alarming.

Your arrogance is quite annoying and disrespectful.

The concept of "committed delegates" has been misreported for years and many so called experts were unfamiliar.

Only the true GEEKS like you would "fake" knowing this before the article was written.

You are the same person who when I asked you directly WHY you say McCain has no chance, your response was "LOL".

I think you owe FLAJA an apology.

The Roger Simon story was widely reported,only an ignoramus would not have known the source and the details of this story. If the fact that I am light years more knowledgeable than you or the flajas of the world makes me a geek, than I am a geek.

I don't have to apologize for your or flaja's ignorance.
