Here's why I'm leaving GD: P until Fat Tuesday, and why I encourage you to do the same.
The rest of the night people will be bitching about whether or not Obama snubbed Clinton, or Clinton snubbed Obama. People will have their views, one side may be correct, the other side may be correct, we'll never have the full truth. Then, starting tomorrow, FL will be debated, in a very similar vein. People will argue about the state "not mattering." Others will point out the delegates "not counting." Others will point how how they do matter. And we'll get this sort of irrational back and forth until Fat Tuesday. Hopefully after that day the irrational banter will go away, but since we won't have a clear winner until around April, it won't.

3. I know how you feel - my whole family's sick. When is Fat Tuesday?
I have no idea when that is.

February 5. Ash Wednesday is February 6 this year,
so the 5th--Super Tuesday--is also Fat Tuesday.

5. The trick is not taking any of it seriously
I sure as hell don't.
