Hilary wins so far not so worrisome

A couple thoughts

1. Massachusetts - HRC performed worse than her 2008 run. Close race
2. Red state wins - She carried the south, but it was expected. There's only 4 more RED southern states. Plus they don't vote Dem in GE. They are states that won't come into play in GE (with exception of Virginia)
3. Most of the remaining states look more like Colorado and Minnesota where Bernie did extremely well.

I expect it to tighten as more states vote. At the same time (March 1) in 2008 40 states had already had their Primaries. This year there have only been 15. This Primary is far from being over.

March 15 is the real test
