The outcome of the actuall nomination is all-but foregone, and we'll see where the popular vote ends up - inasmuch as it is possible to "end up" in any vaguely agreeable form.

There is a lot of contention being generated for an irresovable non-issue.  It can't possibly help the party, and it is capable of doing some damage.

I am not quite confident enough in the ability of the Republicans to completely blow Nov while the Dems completely nail it.  This is just one of those outlier issues that could come back to have an impact against us.
