We are calling New Jersey for Clinton - if not for Mondays announcement - this would have taken her over the edge.
Update:

@benchmarkpol
People wondered how we called so early - we had early access to early results Ocean, Gloucester. Sanders HAD to win those two, by a lot.

(25,428 posts)Benchmark is basing the call on the returns currently in, showing Clinton outperforming expectations. Considering she was way up in the polls, it's probably a safe call.

(8,682 posts)I feel that any early call is based on significant assumptions but it's obvious at this point, at least in this case, accurate.

(150 posts)That is why it is called. Hillary is outperforming Bernie in her weaker counties.
