Now we're down to accusing people of writing off votes...which is, of course, not true.

DailyKos is all aflitter with the same accusations, and not a single one acknolwedges that Clinton is outperforming the best case scenario for her win right now, and Sanders is underperforming the most extreme case for a faintly possible win.

The other meme I'm now seeing is that California will vote 85-15 for Bernie and completely skunk Clinton in a surprise loss and nomination victory for Sanders.

Yeah, that'll happen.
