The Hill: Clinton will add to delegate lead after Michigan, Mississippi contests

[UrbScotty]

This cheered me up:

Clinton cleaned up in Mississippi, winning 83 percent of the vote according to The Associated Press. Sanders on the other hand, finished with just 16 percent, 1 point above the threshold to win delegates. That gave Clinton an estimated 28 delegates, compared to just one for Sanders by the AP's count, with 7 more unaccounted for at midnight.

The tight margin in Michigan will likely prevent Sanders from narrowing the delegate gap, despite his win there. The AP projected Sanders the winner with 50 percent of the vote to Clinton's 48 percent. That will give him at least 63 pledged delegates to Clinton's 52, the AP reports, with another 15 left outstanding. As long as those delegates are bound around the state's margin, Clinton win the Tuesday night delegate haul.

That will essentially hold her pledged delegate lead of about 200 steady.

2. she is rapidly closing in on the magic number

disappointing night vs expectations, but a huge win in a smaller state and a virtual tie in a bigger state only brings her closer to the destination.
