You know, The Democratic State Convention was supposed to happen later on this week, and I had worked very hard to actually win twice as many of the delegates as my opponent. But we're not going to have that convention. It's just not going to happen. You can't put 5,000 people right now in a convention hall. (26:18–26:31)
