Is it possible that Bernie will only win Vermont on Tuesday?

I can't think of any Super Tuesday state in which he has polled ahead of Hillary, at least on anything like a consistent basis. He's slightly behind in Oklahoma and Massachusetts, and while Colorado and Minnesota are still in the black box, earlier polls always showed Hillary comfortably ahead. I personally would be happy to hold Bernie to three states on Tuesday - Vermont, one of the close runners, and one of the caucus states - but could it be that we can hold him to one?

Reality is not their strong point.

On the up side, Paddypower's revision tonight now has Clinton at 1:14 to win (so you can bet $14 and win $15). Sanders, 7:1 (bet $1, win $8).

Most predictive sites are crawling into the 95% Clinton win range.

Vermont, no question, and we're certain to hear about the "momentum" and the "inevitability of his winning the primaries" he'll get by a "decisive victory" in his own state.

Mass has WAY too many people who would feel significant pain under a Sanders regime to just hand the commonwealth (if you want a grade-A, Skittles-quality ass kicking, accuse Mass of being a state) over to him. There are twelve Fortune 500 corporations in Mass - the state is thick with insurance companies, banks, medical device manufacturers and defense contractors who would all be significantly fucked under a Sanders regime. But I'll be generous and give him a one-in-five chance of winning that primary.

Maybe Mass (regardless of the whole Boston and industry issue). Possibly OK. But not both.

He's certainly all in in Colorado... he's spent over 1MM in advertising there. Mass will be close.

Alabama 99
Arkansas 99
Colorado ?
Georgia 99
Massachusetts 81
Minnesota ?
Oklahoma 77
Tennessee 98
Texas 99
Vermont <0
Virginia 99

Vermont is the only loss so far. Clinton is ahead in the polls in Colorado and Minnesota.
