while rendering future polls showing Bernie losing by 8-10% to be highly
suspect, if not biased, and has sent shock-waves of disbelief and panic
through the ranks of the Establishment.

This was not supposed to happen.

Michigan was supposed to be the "clincher" for Hillary, to show she can
win somewhere besides Southern Red States, make inroads with the youth vote,
and win-over the working-class who've been screwed over by NAFTA and the
Wall St. bailout

This is a YUUUGE win for Bernie. A potential game-changer.

her,I have seen nothing but Bernie bumper stickers and the only canvasser to knock on my door had a Bernie shirt on ( northern Il)

I imagine down state may pick up more Bernie but i think it is still pretty red down there except for the university areas

I think Chitown proper itself will be split at best....but hey what do i know and looks like polls were wrong in MI

and I live in a near Western suburb of Chicago. I know there are a couple of other Bernie offices in the Chicagoland area. I see Bernie yard signs and bumperstickers all over. I haven't seen one Hillary sign or sticker. I think the Hillary people are taking Illinois for granted and haven't campaigned hard in Illinois. I think it is at their peril that they are taking Illinois for granted.

Go Bernie!!!

Feel the Bern!!!!
