Overall,, it's a dark, dark night and Camp Weathervane is celebrating. . . .

. . . like it's Versailles in 1789.

The best advice I can give is let them. They aren't playing the same game we are. They may very well win at their game in 2016, but we will win at ours at a time to be announced later.

And then finally, after decodes of the tyranny of Reaganomics, there will be liberty and justice for all.

I advocate for some kind of attempted middle ground until the day after Election Day, and these fuckers are dancing over an undug grave.

I need another drink.

Look where Bernie has won. He is winning along the Texas /Mexico border. Interesting. We knew this would be a tough week. But I am actually pretty happy at the places he is slugging it out.

It's turning out about what I expected. I thought Mass would be pretty much a delegate tie.

When you have a brain that doesn't produce enough serotonin, everything looks dark.

My best friend has SAD and sits under a sun lamp during the winter - helps her tremendously.

As far as Super Tuesday goes, I'm fine right now. We get to keep pushing this out to the north and the west, Trump is going nuclear on Hillary since Bernie is too much of a gentleman to do so, Bernie is still doing great in fund raising and we get closer to an FBI resolution on their investigation.

I'm not giving up, yet!

I expected Hillary to win the Southern states. Bernie won OK, leading in CO and MN just started reporting. MA very close. I'm having a good night.

STATES! Massachusetts may hurt a little, but he'll get a good chunk of delegates. He won the Democrats Abroad! CO, VT. (hopefully) MN.!

Just wait until he gets to the WEST COAST!

PEACE
LOVE

I live in Oregon and I want to see how the entire left coast votes. Even if we lose it would be good to know where we stand when it's all over. Allowing conservative states to choose our nominee is beyond bizarre.

It would be nice if Oregon Duers who support Bernie could get together sometime. I'd like to meet in person, before our primary.

Should I post a message to the Oregon group? The problem is that no one seems to go to that group very often. Do you know who the other Oregonians here are? I remember Swag from years ago, but I don't know if he is still on DU. Also, there is Trajan, but I don't know who the others are.

Clinton is winning Super Tuesday/Southern states just like she did against Obama in 2008. Bernie, winning at least 2 states so far and keeping it close in all the remaining states, is pulling in a good pile of delegates!!

All of Bernie's main states are coming up, just like Obama's were in 2008.

Woo hoo! Can hardly wait to vote for him!

Everyone, do everything you can for him now, starting tomorrow, to do GOTV, canvassing, phone banking and hauling your friends and neighbors to caucus with you.

Together we can do this!

4 solid wins plus a close loss in MA was considered a best case scenario today for Bernie for some folks...Hillary will run out of Southern states in a few weeks! This is not over.

...for her royal Hillaryness just months ago, I'd say let them eat cake.

"We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California," Clinton told the editorial board of a South Dakota newspaper. " I don't understand it," Clinton added, alluding to the calls for her to quit.

Clinton made the statement after pointing out that her husband didn't lock up the nomination until June of 1992, trying to point out that, by past history, it's not late in the campaign.

Yes... Versailles and cake. Lots o' cake!

Twp of my cats, Swashbuckler and Robin Hood, came and sat on my lap for a while. That' always a good thing.

And the news got better as the center of attention moved west. You know, toward the left.

Thank you all for your support.

They have an uncanny ability to suss out untrustworthy people. Hell, my cat hates Berlusconi! He saw him on TV and started swatting the screen. I've never seen him do that before. If he saw Trump, I hate to think what he'd do!
