    Jeff Weaver, Sanders' campaign manager, said this recently:

    "Remember that Hillary Clinton fundraiser on Friday where a couple could contribute
    $353,000 to sit at a table with George Clooney? Well, George Clooney himself was
    asked on NBC whether that was an obscene amount of money, and here's what he said:

    "It is an obscene amount of money, the Sanders campaign when they talk about it is
    absolutely right. It's ridiculous that we have this kind of money in politics." -
    George Clooney"

    Interesting he says this, as he gives Clinton loads of cash for her campaign.

    Psychology.

    Clooney's choice of words were made carefully; he knows he's being scrutinized in all of this and wants to look attractive to both sides of the aisle. I wonder about the money "not going to Hillary's campaign" though, there's no real proof of where all the money is funneled. Saying this certainly benefits him, reputably.

    Well fuck me sideways. We're pretty much in agreement on this!

    Clinton Delegate Lead Down to 194, Even as Dramatic Miscounting of Delegates by Media Continues

    http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/clintons-delegate-lead-do_b_9711160.html
    1,299 to 1,105.

    That’s the “insurmountable” delegate lead Hillary Clinton has over Bernie Sanders.

    And there are still 1,674 pledged delegates yet to be awarded in twenty primaries and caucuses to be held over the next two months; scores of up-for-grabs delegates yet to be decided via state and county Democratic conventions; and hundreds and hundreds of super-delegates to be wooed by both candidates in Philadelphia this summer — with not a single one of them having officially committed themselves to anybody.

    That’s the cold, hard truth — the indisputable numeric data of the current election cycle — but it’s not the story Americans are being told

    I'm doing my part! Unfortunately, I'm seeing a lot of stories this morning of peoples' party affiliations being changed or finding out they're magically no longer registered to vote in NYS. Makes me nervous.

    Hittin the polls soon. Can't fucking wait!

    I checked mine yesterday. It's all good. Nervous for the state in general though.

    One confusing thing already is the school that usually functions as a voting place is open. Dunno what to think of that.
    I've heard stories of people finding out they're not registered or registered as republicans when they are most definitely not as well.

    I'm like really nervous for today. I don't know why. Something has me feeling like if he loses here then it's over.
