On The Gist, we again compare the value of winning states vs. winning delegates in Democratic primaries. Which could be more valuable? Then learn the definition of an “S.O.B. flag” when we visit Vexillology Corner with our favorite vexillologist Ted Kaye. He’s the author of Good Flag, Bad Flag. For the Spiel, it’s time we talk about wolverines.
