Poor Clintonistas. I figured she'd at least win some suburban/rural precincts, but I haven't heard of a single one yet.

My district as well. While people in the other districts spoke, plead and argued, ours did math.

"How many Obama supporters do we need to get one more Clinton delegate?"

"Seven?"
