Yeah, I'm still throwing away my crystal ball for tonight.

Anyone who follows it, SotP will likely be delayed tomorrow.

A huge block of Hillary votes were just logged. Looks like Wayne is coming in heavy Hillary, and Genessee is still barely in but trending Hillary as well.

but Wayne County is not monolithic. Different parts will also go to Bernie. Overall, Hillary will do well there. But on that last batch of votes, Hillary's lead in Wayne County went from 5000 votes to about 24,000 votes.

And raw votes matter now. Cause we're counting close.

Ann Arbor vs Detroit. Look at those numbers.

And what the hell is going on in Genessee?

Still lots of vote out there.

Go drink a glass of wine and listen to "Waltzing Matilda." Hillary is way ahead in the delegate count.

I figure if she loses he'll get 1 or 2 more delegates, and she got all but one in Mississippi, so she wins the day.

I'm not sure what's going on with the polls, but we knew this would be a fight. Think about it. No one said this would be easy, but it's a fight worth having. I have total faith she'll win nomination. Don't be down hearted.
