How about the way candidates concede an election before an official result has been announced and then unconcede it and get berated for unconceding when there is no official result yet? A vivid image of what should exist acts as a surrogate for reality. Pursuit of the image then prevents pursuit of the reality -- John K. Galbraith
I am sticking to explaining my experience of how our campaigns work. That is what my diary is about. I thought it might be interesting. Obviously, it is not interesting to you, Migeru. That's fine - go read something that interests you. "Pretending that you already know the answer when you don't is not actually very helpful." ~Migeru.
