Starting to look good for Hillary in NV...

Chuck Todd ‏@chucktodd 17 minutes ago
Everything still close but based on what's in and what's not in, you'd rather be Clinton than Sanders right now based solely on Clark county


Chuck Todd ‏@chucktodd 17 minutes ago
Clinton is up 9 in Clark and there's still a decent chunk of Clark County out, the single most important county in NV


Mark Murray ‏@mmurraypolitics 12 minutes ago
If Clinton keeps Sanders lead in Elko below 20pts, she could very well win popular vote + delegate total


Only 30% of Clark County (Clinton's stronghold) has been counted so far.

And she just isn't a good campaigner. Not to mention that she's the best GOTV tool the repubs could have.

Because independents really, really don't like her. Because she is the best GOTV tool for republicans.

Obama wasn't a terrible nominee and he LOST the NV caucus. We have two great candidates, one of whom I'm confident will be President.

Amazing. Bernie keeps then big "MO"

Big question in this NV race right now: Can Washoe save Bernie? Very tough if Hillary maintains double digits in Clark.

Something unexpected would have to change in Clark or Washoe

Currently projects to 3.7% win for Clinton

That's a lot to make up with 60% counted

"Her lead, while small, looks durable." -- @chucktodd just now. Indeed. Only way for Bernie to turn around, it seems, is Reno landslide.

How painful that must have been.

May be right, but too early.
