But what does that really mean, How many real delegates are there?
Less than half, the MSM comprises the lion share.
Quote
Do not be deceived by all that talk of delegates and floor speeches: This is a convention of the media, by the media and for the media. There are some 15,000 representatives of the media here for the convention, and only about 5,000 delegates. This mathematical imbalance means most journalists spend their time with other journalists at events sponsored by corporations and hosted by media organizations for the purpose of entertaining advertisers and promoting themselves to each other.

Gwen Ifel (sp?) from the PBS Newshour is so far the most obviously giddy journalist there. She looks like a 5 year old girl at Disney, when she begins her broadcast.  :huh:

Her and Mathews, two happy fleas on the dogs ass, humping his leg.

That dog sort of does resemble Matthews, maybe it's the eyes.  Though I thought he got a thrill up HIS leg, not the other way around... :blink:

The resemblance you sense is the tail. Chris sits on it carefully during his on-camera stuff.

I believe it would be better if the media type sounded more and more insane on camera. Here's hoping they go the full Howard Beale in public.  :smile:

Sandra Fluke in the sleeps-with-anybody Faye Dunaway role. Hussein Islam-ain't-bad as the radical TV revolutionary....

You might be on to something. There's some seriously clear comparisons in casting!
