1. How did Sanders end up with one extra? Was there a coin toss?

3. She must have won a couple of places by big margins and not done so well in others. n/t

[Renew Deal]

7. He didn't. There are 71 delegates. Hillary won them 36-35

2. It's simply amazing when you have so many votes cast that you end up with such a small

difference (and this doesn't seem to be the first time). Wow, I wonder what the statistical odds are for that happening....

[KoKo]

8. I'd like to know the odds of that myself! Iowa, Nevada, Michigan and now this..

which is "tight as a tick"

[George II]

16. And this: Florida, Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina.......

[suffragette]

20. We've had that happen in WA state with governor races.

It really makes you realize how EVERY vote counts.

[pdsimdars]

4. If you look at the other states, it has usually happened the other way around.

[Renew Deal]

6. There are 71 total delegates. Hillary won them 36-35

[KoKo]

9. Plus, 13 Uncommitted Delegates according to the Green Papers Site...

How does that work for Uncommitted Delegates? Are they free to support whichever candidate at the Convention or is Missouri a Caucus State that has to have a convention to apportion them further?

[thesquanderer]

24. uncommitted ("super") delegates can decide right up to the day of the convention (n/t)

10. Culturally, Missouri is two completely different states

The southern parts of the state, the ozarks, are very different fom the northern. It's like night and day. The two biggest cities, Kansas City and St. Louis are in the north.

It's weird here, Claire McCaskill and Jay Nixon pass for progressive. It's quite centrist but there are a lot of anti-establishment, anti-authoritarian types too.

This is the state of Roy Blunt and Todd "legitimate rape" Akin type conservatives. One thing against Clinton here is her stance on gun control, even for dems. In an open primary, it's unpredictable how things play out.

I can see why the results were so close. Case in point, Occupy KC was severely overrun by libertarians. But the Bernie rallies were bigger than I expected.

It's the oddest culture I've ever lived in.

11. Congratulations

I'm glad this makes you happy.

12. I join you in a big WooHoo!

14. Bernie lost. We already know.

[George II]

15. There are still 8 pledged delegates to be determined.

17. Clean sweep for Clinton. Nice. That was close. nt.

[KoKo]

19. Only if you count Super Delegates. The race was so close

they both split the regular apportioned delegates. Super Delegates should split appropriately/evenly.

Bernie continues to gain delegates and is in it to the Convention.

[NCTraveler]

21. "Only if you count Super Delegates. The race was so close"

You are not correct. It was a clean five state sweep without supers. It was "so close."

[Octafish]

18. Thanks, KoKo! We just ran out of time for this round...

...wait until the media have to do their job and actually, you know, report what Bernie stands for.

[KoKo]

22. ...!

It's amazing that we've come so far with little to no MSM coverage for Bernie--and what little there was, has always discounted him. PEOPLE POWER!

[William769]

23. And yet he still lost. Oh wait, he lost all five!

ETA: I know this is a sore spot but super delegates in Missouri, Hillary 11, Sanders 0.

[Loki]

26. William

I have lived in Missouri all my life, and have watched this once solidly blue state turn hideously red except in the two largest cities. The people in the center of the state are tea party reds and I can see that a vote for BS would be very easy for them considering a Trump Or Cruz victory was a given, and they hate Hillary. What better way than to act as spoiler. There is no way those counties in the deep part of Missouri cast that many votes for BS, no way except republicans are very afraid of running against her. I know my state.

[RealAmericanDem]

25. Florida and Ohio are the only states that really count.

Some slow learners here.


Win them in the primary then win them in the general and they have to call you president after that.

[haikugal]

27. Well no wonder we can't have nice things....if that's true.

[snagglepuss]

28. YAY!

Go Bernie GO
