Well, I'd say that it's not big news in that it didn't really change the state of the race. Sure, it made the math even worse for Sanders, but only the most hopeless dreamers actually thought Sanders was going to win NY. The only thing that could've changed things even more in Clinton's favor would've been a win of 65/35 or so, since that might've led to the possibility of her clinching the nomination before California. These results don't change the fact that she's set to clinch it in June 7th.

I am going to impose a new rule for posting links to opinion pieces in order to distinguish them from actual reporting and from other opinion pieces. Attribution has to be made clear it is not to the publication or host, unless said opinion pieces is specifically speaking on behalf of the entire publication. Newspapers and especially HuffPo are home to a myriad of opinion writers and bloggers. In many cases these sites are merely hosting something and the writer in question isn't even paid. So it is different than actual paid journalists for HuffPo or NYT or any given outlet.


In this particular case therefore it isn't "HuffPo" it is "HuffPo opinion writer" or even better "HuffPo blogger" or ideally "Seth Abramson".  Same would be true for opinion pieces from the NYT for example, so it isn't "NYT: blah blah" unless it is from the editors, otherwise it is the specific opinion writer "Krugman: blah blah" or generic "NYT opinion writer: blah blah"

The salt is strong in this one.

How about both sides stop dismissing each other's victories as meaningless.

So if Hillary doesn't get 2,383 in pledged, it's an "open convention"

Was 2008 an open convention?

They're right. She's already going to be the nominee.

They're right. She's already going to be the nominee.

Agreed.  She'd be the nominee even if Bernie had won NY.
