According to this, Clinton nets +18 overs Sanders

Edit: this apparently includes super delegates.

1. She's going to run out of Southern states soon. n/t

2. Check out the polling in Ohio and Michigan.

Your thoughts?

[lostnfound]

8. My thoughts about Ohio and Michigan are that this election season isn't long enough for Bernie

And realistically there will never be a chance to fix the little problems with the American flag.



It seemed like such a good chance to get those little problems in front of the eyes of the American people, to see how much more free the political discussion would become with millions of small donations backing a candidate, without the need to begin every solution process with "is there any change that can be made which is still acceptable to corporate constituents?"

5. I'm puzzled

why so many folks on the Sanders side think Clinton can't win outside the South. She swept the rustbelt and the SW, including California, in 2008. She has, by and large, been following Obama's strategy till now, but presumably she'll win or be very competitive in the areas she won 8 years ago.

9. That was before her $200,000 Goldman handouts

[hack89]

10. Which nobody seems to care about. Nt

[INdemo]

13. You dont care that Hillary will be much more interested in her

paybacks with GoldmanSach.AIG,Wall St. and the Corporate Mafia as they call in their Markers, than middle class working class Americans?
Hillary wants her Crown and she has found those that are willing to purchase it for her.

15. Just pointing out that it will have no effect on the primary. Nt

[Lizzie Poppet]

7. A one-day national primary can't happen too soon.

That an ostensibly liberal party would stack the early primaries with conservative states would be inexplicable...until you consider who actually makes those decisions. Makes perfect sense for a center-right party run by Wall Street puppets, though...

[hack89]

17. It will never happen

it is completely up to the parties as to how they selected their nominees.

[localroger]

19. The Dems haven't really been ostensibly liberal since 1984. /nt

[Lizzie Poppet]

23. Good point.

I'd love to see the party return to liberalism...but I'm not holding my breath. A viable liberal party is what this nation desperately needs, and the only genuinely liberal parties are tiny and powerless.

[Zynx]

21. And Bernie's running out of caucus states. Plus she'll win MI, IL, and OH.

Also, we haven't had Maryland, NJ, and DC. Or NY for that matter.

Where does he get it done?

[livetohike]

3. Looking good! n/t

👍

[lostnfound]

4. Bernie will probably gain net +7 or so in Maine today

So for the weekend she will net 10 or 11 more than him.

[riversedge]

6. 1+

[DCBob]

11. Is this counting superdelegates?

Confused as these numbers dont match others I have seen.

[Democrats Ascendant]

12. No. Pledged.

Politico's numbers are pretty different from the others, I think, because they've allocated ALL pledged delegates already. There are usually a few stray delegates that other news outlets forget to follow up on or that are technically still pending. Politico may be jumping the gun (i.e., NE only 98.7% reporting), but it's probably pretty much right.

[DCBob]

14. Great. That's good to know.

Thanks.

[Democrats Ascendant]

18. Correction

My bad. After more careful study, it seems that they are counting also some unpledged delegates that are now apparently pledged (I think the AP is their main source).

I don't fuckin' know. Damn, this shit is complicated!

[DCBob]

22. No problem.

I am sure it will get sorted out soon.

[localroger]

16. Apparently not

Louisiana has 51 pledged delegates and 8 superdelegates, so 41-10 is pledged delegates only. There seems to be some confusion though because Wikipedia and other sources seem to be reporting the split at 39-12.

[Democrats Ascendant]

20. Actually

Seems they are counting Supers after all.

[SheenaR]

24. NY Times

has it a net of +6

Wikipedia has +10

Both having Sanders with at least 49

And I see her everywhere but politico having a max of 59

[Democrats Ascendant]

25. Yup. My error.

Politico's setup, which I hadn't looked at before, confused me.
