OUR TIMES, THEY ARE ORWELLIAN
There is nothing left to contest, except Hillary's margin of defeat among the elected delegates. Today, is one day past when this became true, i.e. "Superdelegate Day" +1, a countdown of the days it's going to take for them to realize their strategic imperative ...
But...if you repeat a lie enough times, maybe you can get people to believe you.
The latest from the dust kicker-uppers: We can count Florida and Michigan in the popular vote.
Hello?
Obama just closed something like a 20 pt gap in Pennsylvania, by campaigning there.
Why on earth would anyone with a brain even consider adding up Florida and Michigan, where no one campaigned?
What's more, the aggregate vote isn't the popular vote...

Adding them in is not an "opinion" or a "viewpoint", it's something a news organization should reject as ... farce, right?
At a minimum, FL and MI would be pro-rated to something like the PA margin, and Hillary would be behind in the aggregate vote.
What's more, the aggregate vote isn't the popular vote, because some states allow Independents and Republicans to vote alongside Democrats, making them artificially "larger" than states that do not.
Update: Joe Sudbay catches Charlie Cook on the aggregate vote with, "Many a football team gains more yards than its opponent in a game yet loses on that important technicality called points."
