No gloom allowed! Hillary increased her delegate lead yesterday! (CLINTON GROUP)

[Lucinda]

CLINTON 766 - SANDERS 549 without Supers She had a +199 lead the day before.

Not as much as we would have liked, but still the day was hers where it mattered, delegates!
And she increased her popular vote lead (not that we count it, but still...)

1. Disappointed, but NOT gloomy! :-) It's the NUMBERS that make me happy! Delegates, not states!!

Go, Hillary! We love you!

[Lucinda]

3. I was happy she won Flint!

and i'm wondering why they still have votes out, but other than that, an increase of her delegate lead is a good result!

[Tommy2Tone]

2. Uh, been saying this all day.

[Lucinda]

4. LOL Good!

[DesertRat]

5. I'm definitely not gloomy

But I was disappointed because I want the primaries to be over asap. Instead of debating each other, the Democrats should be spending our energy rallying around our nominee to team up against the real enemy, the GOP and Trump.

9. Absolutely! The sooner we can begin focusing our attacks on the Rethugs the better. nt

[Lucinda]

13. Me too!

But it is what it is, I guess. Hillary's got this!

[shenmue]

6. Yes!

[Tarheel_Dem]

7. Thanks for that little dose of reality.

[Lucinda]

11. I would have liked a nice big blowout too...but once I knew

she increased her delegate lead, I went to bed happy. Plus the fact that they both spoke so early, clued me in to the fact that they both knew it would be close.

8. Agree! There were 156 delegates up for grabs Tuesday. Hillary won 87 of them or 56%.

So as far as numbers, she was the winner yesterday. Yes, Bernie had a great "underdog" morale boost with his 1.5% win in Michigan. But let's not lose sight of the prize!

[Lucinda]

10. Yup. She had a good day yesterday. And I think they knew it was going to be

tighter than we did, based upon something I read this morning. Which is also probably why she and Bernie both spoke early. They knew it would be tight. Chi posted a good piece about why the polls were wrong that made a lot of sense, and I'm sure both campaigns already knew it.

[PM Martin]

15. Then she won the day.

No way to spin it.

[George II]

12. A little down this morning, knowing that the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat will.....

....be postponed for a week or two.

[mcar]

14. This!

Go Hillary!

16. It was just a shock last night because of the stupid polling.. but, I see now Hillary did so

well with Dems but the cross overs in Michigan screw up our Dem Primary.

"Clinton won 57-41 (per polling!) among Democrats, Bernie won 70-28 among independents. It’s the Open Primary Effect."

Thanks Luncinda!

[Lucinda]

19. Chichiri's post also pointed out that the 08 election as a base was skewed because

Edwards and Obama didn't run in the state, so the models they used to base the current polling on, were not normal demographics for Michigan. If the next states come in as polled, I think that will have explained the anomaly we just saw in MI.

I'm still annoyed that there are areas of Flint still not counted, but all in all, it was not a bad day!

[Cha]

26. We can do better!

Our motto!

[Thinkingabout]

17. Delegate count will win the nominee, she split the delegaes in Michigan and racked up in

Mississippi, we will continue to work hard.

[Lucinda]

20. Yes! She works hard for everything she gets,

and I expect winning the POTUS to be no different.

[BlueCaliDem]

18. No gloom here, Lucinda! She's WAY ahead in the popular and delegate counts

so it's all good.

[Lucinda]

21. Yes she is!

And she takes nothing for granted, so you know she will keep working hard for this!

[BlueCaliDem]

23. True! I'm feeling good.

She's on CNN at the Democratic Debate held by Univision. Are you watching?

[Lucinda]

24. Nope....too much tension makes my pain levels worse

so I always have to watch them after I know what happens.

Hopefully someone is doing a play by play here in group. I haven't looked yet!

22. No gloomy allowed, She's got this.
