I don't even know where to begin cause over the course of the primary I've become a very active member here, but I've avoided the blogs this weekend, not because of the sadness of Hillary's concession (something on which I ordinarily would have been enthused to share an opinion) but because of a really bizarre and unforeseeable event.

I could be totally off-base with this assertion, but I had a jolt of party-based optimisim as I had my coffee this morning.

Popular Vote Totals

In the hyper-digital age, one of my hobbies in addition to following the politics sphere like a hawk (or a vulture, heh) is uploading piano covers and originals.  

This is a short diary just to see if we can stir up some conversation or information on a few outstanding variables.

Keep in mind, I think perceptions have hardened and Hillary is at a major media disadvantage.  Still there are things worth mentioning.  
 

It's not a happy time to be a Hillary supporter.  The battle has come down to one of perception (SD's) rather than election.  Unless the media is deliberately duping us so they can have some stupid "OMG Shocking West Virginia comeback," last night and today were very sad.  

It's been a rollercoaster two weeks since the Pennsylvania primary.  This diary is just a sharing of some honest thoughts from me, an unapologetic Hillary supporter.  I'm not trying to change anyone's mind on anything, just looking to see what other people are feeling behind the "official" story.  

I'm writing this diary to help disperse some of the noxious spin clouds occluding a precise understanding of the rules and procedures governing the seating of the Michigan and Florida delegations.  Many left-leaning blogs, contributors, editors, armchair pundits, and columnists have promulgated flawed analyses that proceed from the false assumption that suppressing the votes in these two states is mandated by some unflinching authoritarian set of rules that, in reality, the authors either failed to read or failed to understand.  The popularity of this distortion is further supported by fake delegate counters showing a race to 2025 by incorporating this bankrupt assumption, now littering the blogosphere like locusts.  Although it has become fashionable to mischaracterize suppression of Michigan and Florida voters as a foregone conclusion, the result has been a plethora of dishonest accounts of the race's state of that impede sincerity in our dialogue.  So I want to clear a few things up.
