About three dozen states follow Super Tuesday.

This attempt by the Clinton side to declare the race over before the voices of those Americans are heard is truly disgusting.

1) The primary schedule is deliberately weighted to the southern states early in order to protect the power of the conservatives that infiltrated in the 90s.

2) The process normally strips funding from the interloper. Obama had to sell out to keep going. Bernie isn't going to suffer that shortage. As he said, he is in it until the convention.

This is the thing about the proportional awards of delegates - after Super Tuesday it works in his favor. With the funding we can provide, he has time to get his message out in states inclined to his way of thinking anyway. I'm hoping to see a lot more New Hampshire level blow outs as we go forward.

She probably has several platforms somewhere - each new one conflicting with yesterday's. For some reason, the coordinated talking-points dispensary crew don't want to cite that today. All that counts is over, over, over! Hell, don't even bother with "Super" Tuesday. They've already decided what the "SEC" results will be. Absolutely devastating. Apparently Sanders will be 100 down with 36 states to go. Don't bother!

The SEC! That's who I want deciding for New York and California! SEC vs. WWE in the general. Hooray!

It's cruel to disturb the state's rest!

Look, a poll of likely Democratic primary voters by POOMA methodology (do not confuse with "PUMA&quot says Clinton's up by 89% to 4%! It's science! It's math! It's absolute truth from G-O-D! Go home Bernie! Leave the Carolingians alone!
