Bernie has no coattails

the one WV gubernatorial candidate who had endorsed Bernie came in 3rd out of 3

the guy isn't some fringe candidate; he's served as the president of the state senate and has been minority leader the past two sessions

the guy who won the nomination can be considered a DINO, a term I hate to use

I wonder if the 40% of Bernie voters who said that they'd vote for Trump in the fall gave the winner their votes for governor

Opinion: Bernie Sanders, the contest is over

pretty concise

Sen. Sanders cannot win this primary, and there will be no revolution. He must accept that. If he cares about the poor and underprivileged, he should use his new-found bully pulpit to gather support for down-ticket Democrats so that we can have true change. His one-man band revolution is going nowhere and only serves to keep right-wing Republicans in power in Washington. Senator, the contest is over. It is time to stand down.

A friend of mine in Pittsburgh posted this today

it should be required reading for everyone

And so it begins; people are so predictable. The local radio call-in shows are already being deluged by people who are complaining about how difficult and confusing it is to vote in the Pennsylvania primary today:

1. Review a sample ballot before you go to vote. You can find them online, in newspapers, etc.

2. The electronic-screen voting machines are rather basic. Push the button beside the person/issue you want to vote for - do the same for each screen - then push the “VOTE” button. If you have a problem, poll workers will gladly help you.

3. There is NO subterfuge at work here. The ballot is not purposefully confusing to favor any one candidate.

4. One woman on the radio was indignant because she was purposefully “locked out” of her polling place. The election official at that polling pace heard the call and called into the show to point out that the woman went to the wrong door - a back door that was locked. She apparently did not find it strange that she was probably by herself, in an alley, with no crowd of campaign workers around - as there always are. DO NOT be this person.

5. Be patient and be kind when you vote.

6. In Pennsylvania, we do not need ID to vote, but it would probably be a good idea to have it along with you.

7. If your candidate does not prevail today, accept defeat gracefully. Don’t get on Facebook later tonight with that “We wuz ROBBED!” argument. It’s usually just ridiculous and unfounded - regardless of what Chucky’s website says.
