3. Every delegate counts.

2. She doubled Bernie's delegate take!

Hillary moves further and further ahead, and Bernie becomes a tiny speck in her rearview mirror.

It won't be long now ... I can't wait for this to be over!

There's still a long road to travel.

6. Gorgeous!!!

I wouldn't mind visiting them. I've never been there.

7. And very wise people!

[question everything]

8. Wondered about the islands

and whether they participated in previous races.

A chain of 15 islands east of the Philippines, the Northern Mariana Islands is one of five territories and commonwealths that participate in the presidential nominating process even though they don’t get to vote in the Electoral College in November.

(snip)

Hillary Clinton won the islands’ Democratic caucus Saturday with 54% of the vote. She will receive four delegates from the commonwealth to two for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

9. Yes, just like with Puerto Rico, they get to vote in the primaries.

Although they don't get to vote in the GE.
