Turnout is always a good thing.

Maine has a lot of small cities, so it's easier to get out the vote to a large percentage of population.

He'll get the majority of that state's 25 delegates.

Then, on Tuesday, something else will occur that affects far, far more delegates. The delegate count is all that matters, not the number of states won or lost. Watch this site:

Even more participation coming Tuesday where Hillary will win Michigan and Mississippi and add to her lead and further putting the nail in Sanders' coffin.

That is the worst thing about this primary. The anger and hatred provoked by the issue when neither candidate is that way.
