After winning six state primaries, possibly eight in a row (if 2008 repeats itself in Nevada)....

There has been a constant strain of the delegate lead as a sort of virus trying in infect those of us who support a particular candidate. If this was a WAR, the constancy of these retorts sound like the bull horn of retreat to New York. This last statement is self-effacing, but if those of you keep evoking the delegate count emphatically, instead of arguing why your candidate is worthy of my vote, you will ensure your own defeat. Look more toward poetic justice and the heart than the prose of cold logic.
