Suffolk Poll, MA, Clinton +8 (Hillary Clinton Group)

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/02/28/clinton-leads-sanders-massachusetts/81078554/

As noted, the poll ended Saturday and does not account for any post SC bounce. MOE is 4.4, so the spread is outside that, but with an MOE of that size the poll is of modest reliability only.

Still, Sanders' Tuesday night may be even rougher than we think. Even the smallest win in MA destroys his New England firewall.

But honestly, with the polling and trend lines, he's not going to win it big even if he does win it. A couple extra delegates at most.

We now see why Clinton is doing two Monday rallies in Mass. She knows what's up.

Frankly, if Bernie loses here, it's over. It doesn't get much more liberal than MA.

which will be huge--I'd be most elated if she won Massachusetts even by a small margin.

If she take 2 of the 4 states up for grabs, that's an absolutely huge night for her. Can see them going either way, but we will find out soon.

he carries Vermont--I'd guess his best chances for a victory on Tuesday would be with caucuses in Colorado and Minnesota. I think Hillary will win Oklahoma.
