Popular vote last night: 753,231 (HRC) 626,670 (BS) 87-69 delegates (HRC)

Yeah, Michigan was a disappointment. But lets look at this larger picture:

HRC keeps winning the popular vote--taking 753,321 to Bernie's 626,670 or 55-45 from the Michigan and Mississippi.

HRC netted 18 more delegates last night than Bernie--including 29 to Bernie's 4 out of Mississippi. For a total of 87-69.

If Hillary is having trouble with the under 30 voters, well, Bernie still can't win the African-American vote.

Now it's on to Illinois, Ohio, North Carolina, Florida and Missouri.

There are four Detroit / Flint-style cities: Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton and Toledo. Columbus is weighted heavily with government employees. Also, OSU will be on spring break, so no Ann Arbor comparison. OU is not, but Athens County is not at all like Washtenaw.

Reducing expectations, I still believe Clinton has, at a minimum, a five point advantage here.
