and simply use the statement, "Know-Nothings." Surprisingly, nobody really disagreed. They're pretty proud of having big dreams and no knowledge of how to get there.

Certainly they have no knowledge of how superdelegates work, or how caucuses apportion delegates. It's really rather sad.

I mean, seriously. Right now, I'm clueless on NV's methods. By the time we're at the eve of the caucus, I'll know what I need to know. Ditto with SC and Super Tuesday states. I'll know who should perform well in given locales (less so on Super Tuesday when the number of areas is overwhelming), and what to watch for in terms of campaign weaknesses and cracks starting to show.
