Happy Birthday Amy!!!

Our older dog Miley has a new little puppy friend. His name is Jetski. He was born at a local shelter just under two months ago, and we adopted him a few hours ago. Welcome Jetski. Even the Sanders folks are starting… just starting… to admit it might be over. Clinton won 218 delegates yesterday. Sanders won 166. In addition, since New York there were new superdelegate endorsements and updates in Illinois and Ohio which have netted Clinton +9, Sanders +1. So including everything since New York, we have Clinton +227, Sanders +167. That means Clinton got 57.61% of the delegates. She only needed 28.73%. Meanwhile Sanders got 42.39% of the delegates. He needed 71.39%. In practical terms this has been for over a long time. Absent a huge unexpected event of course. But we still watch it play out. Here are the relevant graphs:
Clinton now only needs 231 of the remaining 1200 delegates to win. That’s 19.25% of the remaining delegates. Sanders on the other hand needs 971 of the 1200. That is 80.92%. Guess which is most likely? Or, of course, still, tons of Clinton superdelegates could defect and change this a bit. I wouldn’t hold my breath for that though. Update 2016-05-01 17:08 UTC: Superdelegate updates plus change to Ohio pledged delegates. Net change: Clinton +11, Sanders -1. Note: This post is an update based on the data on ElectionGraphs.com.

This matters for America and other countries, too. There is now a precedent of a partner nation disconnecting users for alleged copyright infringement. This is a terrible moment for internet privacy and freedom. Sent from Newsie on iPhone |
