Here's the Story on Coin Flip-ghazi

[firebrand80]

I'm seeing in mentioned in several threads, but I haven't seen a source. According to this, it doesn't seem as though coin flips decided the final outcome.

Similar situations played out at various precincts across the state, but had an extremely small effect on the overall outcome, in which Clinton won 49.9 percent of statewide delegate equivalents, while Sanders won 49.5 percent. The delegates that were decided by coin flips were delegates to the party's county conventions, of which there are thousands selected across the state from 1,681 separate precincts. They were not the statewide delegate equivalents that are reported in the final results.

1. Face it -- It was a very tight race that was essentially a tie

If you want to crow about a 30 plus lead and guaranteed victory shrinking to a fraction of a fraction, have fun.

3. It's not a question of crowing.

Mr Sanders and his team mounted a fine attack on the citadel of inevitability. But it wasn't quite enough. More needs to be done. The supporters of Mr Sanders need to assimilate this fact, as I am sure the candidate has.
