Bernie is now favored to win Wisconsin.

He has a 57% chance to win, and the projected popular vote is 49-48.

Lousy news, I know, but at least we won't be blindsided by it. Now the real question is, will he get the 50 out of 86 delegates he needs?

Personally I'd hoped more independents would roll out to vote against Trump, but life throws curveballs.

I can't see him netting more than 8-10. He needs to win this by 80% to win enough delegates to start making a difference in the delegate math.

but I'll make phone calls for her, wish I could donate... I wish they would start vetting him, I'm very tired of the double standard.

Naw. I had thought it would be 55-45. A 52-48 (giving him all undecideds) would be great--it's way under his new delegate targets!

Even 55-45 isn't that stunning a win for him.
