ABC.com: Why Bernie Sanders' West Coast Blowouts Matter

Bernie Sanders did not just win all three states that voted this weekend -- Washington, Alaska and Hawaii -- he won them by overwhelming, impressive margins. The presidential hopeful won every county in Washington, and some of his biggest victory margins came from the state's most rural and traditionally conservative areas.

The win will likely mean a fundraising boost for the small-donor driven campaign. Sanders does not have a super PAC and instead has enjoyed injections of cash from his fans after big wins or important nights in the election calendar. According to the campaign, supporters from Washington State already give to his cause at disproportionately high rates, so these wins will likely produce another windfall.

The wins also validate Sanders' commitment to an extended primary. Despite the fact that he is trailing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by a significant number of delegates needed for the nomination, Sanders has pledged to stay in the race until all 50 states get their say.

5. "We plan to overtake Hillary on June 7th." ~ Jane Sanders

And now it appears to be possible, thanks to all of the Democrats who voted yesterday in Alaska, Hawaii, and Washington.

6. The farther you get from the East Coast establishment,

the more, um, "independent" voters seem to become.
