HRC greatly improved her showing in KS, NE & LA over 2008

As a vote getter Bernie is proving to be no Barack Obama.

While losing Kansas and Nebraska to Bernie--Hillary Clinton still improved her showing in both states. In 2008 she got 25.7% against Obama in Kansas--tonight she won 32.3% of the vote a gain of nearly 7-points. In Nebraska in 2008 HRC received 32.2% and today she received 43.4% a gain of over 11-points. The biggest prize of all is Louisiana where she received 35.6% against Obama but today out-performed even Barack Obama by winning 71.1% of the vote--nearly doubling her 2008 showing.

Seems to be the case in all of them so far, if I remember correctly.

Upper New England has been strong for Bernie, so we will see if she improves her showing or not in Maine tomorrow.
