Ground game
The races are very tight in IL, OH, MO and to a lesser extent in NC. It is all about ground game. If GOTV efforts are the same as they were in MI, Bernie is going to score a decisive win at least in IL, MOP and OH. This is the only way. I wish I can contribute to this effort. Do know that there is a huge Arab community in IL, about 150K in Chicago alone. If you add the Muslim community to the mix, the number goes up to about 200K. They are almost all for Bernie. The voter turnout of Muslims was close to 65% according to what we have seen in MI. They can deliver a lot of votes to Bernie. I hope somebody in Bernie's campaign is specifically targeting this community.
The issue of closing the coal mines is going to hurt Clinton but not to a great extent. The aren't much coal workers in the industrial mid west. I worked on many research projects on cleaning coal, so I know a lot about coal mining and its statistics.
I also believe that the issue of the death penalty might hurt her. The story about the guy who was about to put to death before he was exonerated was very emotional, and many will respond to that. Hillary's answer was unauthentic as usual.
