look like it's still a race. We know better, of course, but with the constant barrage of crap on DU and elsewhere about the DNC, the SDs, the server nonsense, and so on, our irrational side still wants to counter it, even though it's largely irrelevant. Kind of human nature.

It's also a short-term problem. After the polls close on June 7th, Hillary will be declared the winner by the networks, the news agencies, and pretty much everyone else, and Sanders will become the sideshow act he's basically already been for a month. If he's still dominating the discussion then, then we need to clearly be more pro-active about ignoring him.
