... the electorate is diverse which is sad to say for Sanders that the more diverse the state the better Clinton does... that should go for both candidates

some Clinton supporters do *NOT* get how serious we are.

We are in it to the mud, to the shit piss and blood.

The status quo will NOT do.

and I apologize for being crude.

I try not to be an ass if I can avoid it.

Come up to MD to avoid the heat!

don't put corn flakes on your chicken up there.

White gravy is a masterpiece along with my biscuits.

Northern folks scare me with their cooking at times.

so you're invited into my kitchen to do white gravy and biscuits! (I tend toward the mediteranean style.)

I eat meat and raw vegetables as a rule. I also run, which is helpful.

That said, I have to eat some red beans and rice. I'm not even going to ever lie about that, and yes, homemade biscuits.

I love to cook, it is just something that makes me smile .

Me, not so much any more, unless I'm in just the right mood. And can't find my favorite brand of Italian sausage, so can't make one of my favorite dishes.

I'm certain that there will be a substitute.

but have been trying other brands and they just don't work.

Now MD and NJ are the "Deep South".

Honey, I dare you to say I'm not from the Deep South, grew up in New Orleans, and could bite your very tongue with my cooking.

I do suggest you take a step back.

It's much too far north, and did not secede in the Civil War. It's called Mid-Atlantic.

NJ is just obviously not anywhere near the South.

He's not giving up and neither am I.

Still Bernin'

Hadn't been @ 'puter for hours, wondered what his take was (after reports he left for Vermont w/o the press.)

I may visit Vermont this summer, as family had lived and vacationed there; will be nice to get back.

every day is summer.

Which is rather a mixed blessing

I would practically adore moving to Antarctica to avoid the dang heat. As a bonus I could do research and not have to mess with too many people.

...Bernie ended up with 47% of the pledged delegates?

Is this an accomplishment you would feel proud of?

With 700 more delegates, he'd be at 47% of pledged.

Here's a scenario that would do it:

State / Dels / % of Tot Dels / Type

CT / 28 / 51% / Closed (Unaffl chg thru 4/25)
DE / 10 / 48% / Closed
MD / 38 / 40% / Closed
PA / 87 / 46% / Closed
RI / 14 / 58% / Semi-closed (No repub)
IN / 44 / 53% / Open
Guam / 3 / 43% /
WV / 17 / 57% / Semi-Closed (undecl ok)
KY / 26 / 47% / Closed
OR / 37 / 61% / Closed
VirI / 4 / 57% /
PR / 30 / 50% / Closed caucuses
CA / 239 / 50% / Semi-closed ("no party pref" ok)
MT / 13 / 62% / Open
NJ / 61 / 48% / Closed (Undecl ok)
NM / 17 / 50% / Closed
SD / 13 / 65% / Semi-open (no repubs)
ND / 12 / 67% / Open caucuses
DC / 7 / 35% / Closed

Do you think something like that is doable?

Do you think we could do better than that?

Do you want Bernie to stay in so we can win him as many delegates as possible, Win or Lose the nomination?

Sanders campaign is about winning, but it's about more too.
