2 GB, yo, and Windows Vista Home Premium ;). For a while now Chrome's been saying they're dropping support for Vista :(, although I can't imagine what Chrome needs in later versions of Windows that mandates this. I suppose it could be they just don't want to not have to test in Vista anymore...

It would actually be fine, except for the ridiculous amount of memory Chrome sometimes uses. Probably in an effort to negate this, fairly recently I noticed that Chrome was reloading tabs, on re-selecting them, and on research I found you can disable this via chrome://flags/#automatic-tab-discarding (copy and paste into address box). But, this can cause excessive use of Virtual Memory (disk thrashing), and even the odd blue screen...

Well, your biggest problem is Vista. It's a notorious memory hog with never ending performance issues. I would downgrade your computer to either windows XP or install windows 7 if the requirements meet. But ditch Vista ASAP.

Generic disclaimer/reminder that caucuses are undemocratic as hell and county/state conventions where you can potentially delegates allocated by default are even more undemocratic, too. They're looking for primaries and strict proportionality for that "voice of the people" thing for actual thing to count. No matter how you try to spin it, Clinton has more raw votes. Period. That advantage is going to grow with NJ and CA coming.

Yup. Puerto Rico, California and New Jersey will expand her popular vote lead. New Mexico will cancel out anything Sanders gains from Montana and South Dakota.

(note: My math may be off. i'm quickly doing this at work)

Super Delegates are built into the 2,383 number. They make it roughly 50.003% of the total delegate count. Asking to reach that percentage without Supers is dumb.

So, if we take out the 712 Supers, we get 4,051 pledged delegates, which makes the same 50.003% number Hillary needs to hit roughly 2,102 instead of 2,383. This is the real number people should refer to instead of trying to hit a pledged delegate count that she's inherently handicapped against because you morally object to it.

Which, btw, she will hit on June 7th.

She's at 1768 according to the AP. So she needs 338 more.

June 7 has 660 up for grabs. She just needs 51.2% which she's going to get because she's winning Cali and NJ and she just needs 56% in those two states to get there.

IMO, on the low end, she'll end up around 2140. In reality, it'll probably be closer to 2170-2200

Nearly 2200 pledged delegates out of the 2383 pledged + supers is pretty obviously a victory.

I am not worried yet about the general assuming that Bernie drops out in a reasonable way.

I am slightly worried that Bernie is going to fuck up America. But I am currently hopeful because the more divisive he gets the more supporters he loses and the further he drops in the polls. There are a lot of people saying "man I voted for Bernie and I regret it" right now. Those people will vote for Hillary regardless of what Bernie does.

Even if Bernie is difficult I think that Hillary is favored because cmon, it's Donald Trump. We have never seen a presidential campaign season like the one we're going to see because political parties simply don't choose candidates as horribly vulnerable as Donald Trump.

Yeah, this is where I'm at.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
The longer Bernie Sanders hangs around the race, the greater the chance his voters become devoted to and entrenched in Bernieism and refuse to vote for Hillary. It's dangerous. He knows what he's doing.

will repost here for my homies:
Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson has chosen former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld as his running mate,
Click to expand...
Billionaire businessman and philanthropist David Koch has pledged “tens of millions of dollars” to help bankroll the campaign of Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson, according to a source within Johnson’s campaign.
...
But after publication, the spokesman told TheDC: “Reports that David Koch has pledged his support to Gary Johnson – or any candidate running for president for that matter – are untrue.”

Despite that denial, a source with a leadership position in the Libertarian Party told The Daily Caller Thursday afternoon that Johnson’s on track to receive the billionaire’s support.

“In the event that a Johnson/[Bill] Weld ticket emerges from the convention, a pathway is in place for significant funding from Koch, [Steve] Wynn and other large donors,” the source said.

Seriously though, you're reading too much into my "Still holds up as a classic Danny B post ;)." post, as I was essentially just saying that I was happy with my original post, highlighting Bernie's recent delegate gains (gap now down to 272), in my inimitable, hopefully entertaining fashion :).

Oh god, it's RT.

A Super PAC trying to help Rep. Joe Heck defeat the woman who would be the first Latina ever elected to the U.S. Senate is trying to peel off Hispanic voters with a new radio ad.

America's PAC, using tactics it has employed before, is running a Spanish-language radio ad (audio attached, transcript below) that essentially accuses Cortez Masto of supporting pro-choice policies that "abort our future." The ad's first line shows its intent: "Does Catherine Cortez Masto care that 3 out of 5 babies aborted in America are Black and Hispanic?"

..... These people are really not smart.

Like, they are exceptionally stupid.

Are people not aware that republicans are diablosing even harder than democrats? Because their fear that their candidate is a maverick idiot who could lose in a landslide is actually founded.

I believe it's been widely accepted that after SP2, Vista was a perfectly acceptable upgrade to XP, and that's been my experience too, it's just that some modern apps, such as Chrome (probably in part due to Flash...), are using memory (RAM + virtual) with abandon, as physical memory has become cheaper and therefore even base computers now ship with more (8 GB typical?).

However, although back in 08, I don't believe I skimped with 2 GB RAM for my ThinkPad T61 (2.4 Ghz Dual Core Centrino Pro), I believe you're also right, that Microsoft made significant strides in reducing the system requirements with Windows 7, and I was checking out an Amazon Lightning Deal just the other day (was only 33% off, at around a ton - too rich for ~$3 wine guy ;) ).

I'm still amazed young people care so much about Bernie. Is it because it's the cool thing to do or are they not paying attention to his lack of substance behind what he says? It's been apparent for awhile he's an asshole that is a sore loser and had no friends in politics despite being in the business for over 30 years.

Substance? Millennials? HA, good man.

Doesn't the state set the date of hte primary? I mean, DWS doesn't really have control over the calendar really. They can't do it before certain dates or Iowa, NH and SC fee-fees get hurt....but I think it's often up to the state and state party.

4 months is longer than the entire Canadian election season in 2015.

The "fact" that Bernie isn't already the president elect is just a media narrative.

In fact, he always was president

Yep.I always like to compare this election to that because there are some similarities to find in both elections.At this point the difference between one of the left parties and the conservative parties in that election was only a few percentage points. The same thing can be noticed in that election. I don't know why people are so worried about trump then because there is a lot of time still to make sure he does not get to the white house.
