the only math that seems to elude the M$M and the Clinton campaign...

is that more states didn't secede in 1861....

the spin that Bernie lost ground by winning tonight, which requires a 'math only' conversation, and ignore what Michigan might, and I do say might to try to keep certain posters calm, portend for the future primaries...

like sports...it's why you have to play the whole game...

If the rest of the races follow the same regional pattern, Hillary may maintain her delegate lead for a while, but she will struggle to win or to get any positive press.

They've pulled it on every state Sanders has won (and cry foul when some Sanders supporters reciprocate.) It's shit behavior from either side... though they did totally start it.

Michiganders told us what they wanted tonight. To try to go "yeabbut doesn't matter!" is fucking insulting to those men and women.

it is all about # of delegates now. Bernie's wins don't really matter. Kind of ignores a lot of people who might matter when Clinton faces the republicans.
