Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumMassachusetts: HRC: 46% Bernie 46%
I consider this good news. Massachusetts is one of the Super Tuesday states that he expects to do well in and this poll, by Emerson College, indicates that right now the race is a dead heat. The poll was conducted prior to Nevada so she may even get a lift from that:

The recent PPP poll had Sanders up by 7 in Massachusetts (49-42), so this is encouraging.

Hillary's forces ought to be framing the question as "can Bernie win outside of New England?"

(28,270 posts)It seems like things are swinging back in Hillary's direction. I expect things will start to coalesce after S. Carolina. She needs to really run up the totals there though, which I think she'll do.

(4,667 posts)I think Hillary still won Massachusetts. This isn't a knock on the Kennedys. Endorsements just don't matter much anymore.
In SC, on the GOP side Rubio had the popular Senator and Govenor endorse him and he still lost.
Endorsements just don't mean what they use to.

(297,285 posts)weight for Hillary and not just endorsements from the Black Caucus but they will be actually going out and knocking on doors and making calls for her. Same with 170 African American Women leaders next week
Rubio ran for president in 2008?
The Clyburn and the CBC endorsement probably does carry weight. I guess it is a case by case basis.
The Rubio comment referred to 2016 not 2008.

(8,173 posts)It definitely seemed that there were more Bernie ads.
As soon as the primary was over, no more ads until last week. And last week was Bernie ads only, have not seen any Hillary ads. The number of ads by Bernie are definitely much less (probably 50% less) than what was run in NH.
Hillary did win the last primary against Obama - 55-38 and that was after both Kennedy and Kerry endorsed Obama.
I'm pretty sure it's Trump on the R side, I just am not sure on the D side.
