(84,711 posts)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?

(2,450 posts)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.

(84,711 posts)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.

(30,481 posts)You are not correct. It was a clean five state sweep without supers. It was "so close."

(55,745 posts)...wait until the media have to do their job and actually, you know, report what Bernie stands for.
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!

(55,142 posts)ETA: I know this is a sore spot but super delegates in Missouri, Hillary 11, Sanders 0.
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.

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