Unreal. The Sanders campaign is now holding a conference call for his VT media avail as no traveling press is there.

CNN reporter-

Jeff Zeleny ?@jeffzeleny 11m11 minutes ago
Asked why he came back to Vermont tonight, @BernieSanders said it has been a few weeks: "I need to get recharged and take a day off."

Jeff Zeleny ?@jeffzeleny 12m12 minutes ago
"I congratulate Secretary Clinton on her victory," @BernieSanders says on conference call now,but says he's concerned about chaos at polls

There it is- Is that it? He's going to go CT on the whole thing.

Andrea Mitchell says this is the first time he's left the Nat'ls behind.

1. What does "avail" mean?

[Rose Siding]

3. Availability

Like a press availability. It's short hand they use

[spooky3]

4. Thanks

[NuclearDem]

2. Probably just needs some time to rest.

Nothing more than that.

[LonePirate]

7. Anyone who has traveled extensively for work can understand how exhausting the campaign trail is.

I don't begrudge any politician who wants to take a day off to rest and recharge, especially if that politician has been campaigning nationally essentially non-stop for months like the two Dem candidates have.

[Rose Siding]

8. Maybe. I wonder why Hillary hasn't done that

[LiberalFighter]

17. She didn't go to Italy last week.

[Rose Siding]

18. I might have counted that as time off.

[SunSeeker]

5. The only "chaos at the polls" were his non-Dem supporters demanding provisional ballots.

He is so ungracious in defeat. Maybe he's still jet-lagged from his jaunt to Rome.

[Agnosticsherbet]

6. He may be taking a break to

do the math.

[KewlKat]

9. Perhaps we should overnight him

a calculator?

[FrenchieCat]

10. That would be helpful!

[LoveMyCali]

16. Or Maybe

Jane is looking for more tax returns.

[Walk away]

11. Jeeze! I hope he stays there.

[riversedge]

13. Wonder if Weaver the jerk is with him??

[Walk away]

15. I thought Weaver was going on cable news explaining how Bernie is still winning!

The blind leading the blind!

[fleabiscuit]

12. If he'd just read 538 then he wouldn't get so confused.

Shoot, it was only 538 and the bookies that was calling BO correctly.

[riversedge]

14. Sanders at his VT presser--"insisted there is still a path to victory" OINK!

Danny Freeman
?@DannyEFreeman

After abt a 4 minute avail, @BernieSanders took only a few questions, denying to answer one, and insisted there is still a path to victory.
