If Bernie takes 72% of the delegates in Maine today, he'll come out on top for weekend

[morningfog]

Hillary gained a total of 9 delegates more thanBernie after his wins in Kansas and Nebraska and her win in Louisiana.

Today, Maine holds its caucuses, with 25 pledged delegates up for grabs. If Bernie takes 18 or the 25, or 72% of the delegates, he will end the weekend with a net positive of one delegate.

In other words, if he gets 18 or more delegates today, he will be in a better position than he was after Super Tuesday.

As of now he trails Hillary by 206: 688 H to 462 B.

2,921 to go, 2,026 to hit a majority of pledged delegates.

1. Super Tuesday isn't here yet. It is 3/15

But your point is still valid.

3. Everyone refers to last Tuesday as Super Tuesday.

This will be a second Super Tuesday.

9. Well my super Tuesday is Saturday March 26. That's when I cast my vote for Bernie.

And for many, many others their super Tuesday comes after March 15 as well. This is far from over.

5. He will have made up one half of one percent of his deficit

That's a lot of effort for one delegate.

7. Better than losing more ground.

8. True story

I think you have a very good chance at 72% in Maine. Hell, you might shut her out below 15%

11. 72% is a tall order

I've read that it's looking like 2:1 in favor of Bernie, but that's still only 66%

Still, fingers crossed
