1. What?!

For reals?!

[democrattotheend]

3. According to who?

CNN still has Bernie leading.

[TexasTowelie]

13. Bernie's lead continues to drop.

At one point it was over 4%, now it is down to less than 1%. Vote margin is about 4,300.

29. MSNBC called it

[BootinUp]

2. Very helpful I'm sure. Nt

[Skid Rogue]

4. not yet... I just want a piece of the pie.

5. This is Wasserman's gut read

He’s good but it’s a best guess.

[W_HAMILTON]

22. He's too good to make a guess.

This is basically his career. Wrongly calling something like this would negatively impact him as a professional.

Having said that, I'm still skeptical, but I also do trust Wasserman based on his incredible track record in the past. I'm content with waiting and see how it all turns out.

[Dem2]

6. We'll soon find out

(hopefully) when Harris County comes in.

[TexasTowelie]

7. That seems premature

unless he has some insight as to early voting/primary day voting or data at the precinct level. Bernie's lead has fallen to 2.03% with 26% reporting though.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. It's 1.1%

[TexasTowelie]

15. I just saw that.

It looks like we are beginning to get results from today instead of early voting.

8. Are you kidding me?

[volstork]

9. Um,

does a video featuring the confederate flag belong on DU?

[Celerity]

12. [phone]

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. In my exuberance I didn't notice.

That song is played in the final scene of Giant where Rock Hudson's character gets in a fight with the racist diner owner defending the honor of his Mexican American grandson and loses. If I was the director Rock wins.

[Kacy]

21. Yes

Do I need to remind a democrat that the only speech we need to protect is speech we (or some of us) hate?

[Celerity]

10. Dave Wasserman is usually deadly accurate, WOW, this is huge

[Loki Liesmith]

19. He is very good but

he did poo poo Dem’s 2018 chances for a long time.

[Celerity]

23. I meant more for election night vote flow analysis, sorry for not being clear

[W_HAMILTON]

24. Predictions are different than projections.

[Denis Enko]

16. Premature Extrapolation

Don't worry, Mr Wasserman, a lot of guys suffer from it. Hell, it happened to me the first time I was with an election!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. Doing this stuff is how he pays his bills.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

[MerryBlooms]

20. True or not, I love that song.

[LizBeth]

25. Yea Texas, Yawl did great. Yee Haw, lol. Beto the man. We need the skateboard clip.

[LizBeth]

27. It was the What a Burger that did it.

[VarryOn]

26. I'll take a squeaker any day! Nt

[Gothmog]

31. A total of 79 delegates are divided up by the outcome of the statewide primary vote.

A total of 79 delegates are divided up by the outcome of the statewide primary vote. 49 are classified as at large and 30 are held by party leaders. However, there's a mathematical risk.

"Because it could very well be somebody wins the Statewide vote by two or three percent, but because they did poorly in key districts, actually get a smaller number of delegates,” said Smith.

There are also 33 additional delegates that are held in reserve during the Party Convention. They were once known as Superdelegates but were renamed and scaled back in power. They only come into play if there is no nominee after the first ballot.
