California Primary Watch Thread.

[RandySF]

It's roughly 11:40 p.m. Pacific and, with 44% of the vote in, Hillary leads 60% to 40%. A lot of county votes have rolled in and some results of note:

- 100% of San Francisco is in and Hillary won by 14%.

- 25% of Santa Clara (San Jose) is in and Hillary leads by 28%

- 46% of Alameda (Oakland and Berkeley) is in and Hillary leads by 17%

- 17% of Los Angeles County is in and Hillary leads by 27%

- 41% of San Diego County is in and Hillary leads by 21%

- 84% of Fresno County is in and Hillary leads by 22%

Most notably is Hilary is running up huge margins in the San Joaquin Valley. I just don't see where Bernie makes up enough distance to avoid losing.

1. He needs to take the rest by double digits to win

Needs to be called soon.

2. Wow, Sanders reallly got trounced tonight. I knew Hill would do well, but

I'm actually a little surprised by how badly he is doing.

Call the race over on Monday night.

6. San Luis Obispo at 100%: Clinton 51%, Sanders 49% (Clinton lost the county by 8 points in 2008)

Big crowds?

7. Results are a bit surprising given the exit polls

As posted here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=2149224

Those exit polls were a bit odd though, having Bernie doing very well among Latinos. I'm curious if we'll get any more info.

9. Update from Nate Cohn

Some rough Election Day pct. for Clinton: LA-55.5, SC-57.8, RV-53.7, SD-47.6, SF-49.9, OR-48.1, SBern 55.5

10. A little mood music...California, Here We Come!

[RandySF]

11. Almost all of the counties won by Bernie have maxed out.

He needs to swing some major metropolitan areas big time to even get close.

[alcibiades_mystery]

12. San Joaquin County 100%: Clinton 60%, Sanders 40%

Northern counties mostly pissed out.

Holding steady at 400,000 spread since 20% counted.

17. So much for what the AP did yesterday....

In declaring Hillary the presumptive nominee. As things stand now, she ran away with California in absentee ballots cast. I seriously doubt that Bernie would have been able to win California with same day voting. So, while I did NOT like the AP call on Monday which denied Hillary a true celebration on Tuesday night, she killed in absentee ballots, which Bernie I don't think he'll be able to make up. The Margins in So. California that Hillary beat Bernie by are STAGGERING.

Also, while I knew Hillary wouldn't win California by 18 points (I say that as of 12:40 AM), I felt that she could win California by at least 7-10 points. Those polls making it a 1-2 point race were inaccurate to the MAX and made me laugh everytime I saw someone eluding to them

[RandySF]

18. She's crushing him up on the Bay Area, too.

[LenaBaby61]

19. Yep....

Am looking at those Northern Counties, and Bernie only really won the smaller counties. She crushed him in most of the larger counties.

What a GLORIOUS night for Hillary and all of us Hillary Supporters
