How Conventions Came To Be – Dick Morris TV

 History Video!

By the way, I see the lying scumbag Axelrod denying that there's been a convention bounce.

Back to topic: Morris explains how conventions became more democratic over time.

I thought I'd put this up here because it shows a historical trend towards more democracy.  This conflicts somewhat with the notion of democracy's faults--- which is what I've been writing about in posts today.  The trouble with democracy is that so many people simply do not have the capacity to keep up with everything like it needs to be kept up with in order to make the best possible decisions.  In short, too damned many people are uninformed, but that's what we have to work with.

This sounds elitist and maybe it is--- but it is the truth.  The truth is what matters on this blog--- not what I or another other people who may be coming here--- want to believe.  Truly, if you believe that you can be fully informed on all issues when- you don't pay attention until the very end of the campaign- you are kidding yourself.

Even I, who pay attention far more than average, miss a few things.  No, not a few things.  A LOT.  You simply cannot keep up with everything unless you are fully devoted to it. That is common sense.  So anybody who thinks otherwise, just get your heads out of your asses, please.
