Really like Mr. Sanders,but,as a old DFLer,reality will clear my foggy brain and we can see a National Trend developing. Now,if the DNC will put money into Congressional Races and go 50 State Strategy,we will see some real results. Bernie is the best thing going,people want real change and not some hookie pookie crap.

if conditions change. I find them interesting, and these folks are statistics wonks. I'm not, really. I'm more of a "look at the numbers and go with my hunch" kind of guy.

But, these predictions are pretty close to my hunch, so...

Like you,after the Delegate Count hit the DU this AM,it is not over and things could go to Sanders and it is Ms.Clinton's to loose.

Hopefully you DFLers can clean out District 6.

CD-6 is probably a long shot, but District 2 is a possibility.

South Eastern is so controlled by the Conservative Germanic ideals. But,they sure do like their Casino's.

run again, so that district's seat is open. That gives us an excellent opportunity, and the demographics of the district have changed somewhat. I don't know yet who's considering running on the DFL side.

The CFTC was correct to shut down Intrade because people were playing games at the end and were using market manipulaiton tricks but for a while it was a very good tool for prediction of political contests
