but it is not good if she loses every major Industrial State of the Midwest. It gives Sanders more momentum (and the media more negative talking points about her campaign) as we move to areas that he is strongest in. I don't want to rain on any parades but after today, with the exception of Kentucky, there are no more Southern states left for HRC to rack up delegates. She has to begin to prove (and I know this sounds like a Sanders arguement) that she can win outside the South (I know, I know she has won MA, NV & IA). If Ohio goes for Sanders that doesn't bode well in PA, for example. I wonder why the Democrats have to have so many open primaries.
