this is split , won't be a big delegate win here. neither here nor MO. So what was supposed to be a big tuesday petered out. as more ties came in. changing the delegate count by very little. Bernie keeps pulling an Obama 2008..

And she already held a delegate lead coming into tonight.

The map gets friendlier for Sanders after tonight. But it is likely too late. Hillary is the one who has pulled an Obama 2008. She has built up a pledged delegate lead that cannot be surmounted.

It is hard to see how Sanders can win the most votes or the most pledged delegates a this point. At least in 2008 the popular vote was up in the air. This time Hillary is set to win both of them.
