About Oklahoma . . .

First, don't panic. If Hillary loses, she's not going to lose by much. There's nothing really at stake here except a few odd delegates, and the pride in taking all states but VT. If Bernie takes OK too, the narrative will still be "he won only two states on Super Tuesday." Only once in Democratic history has a nominee done so poorly on Super Tuesday, and then gone on to win the nomination (that was Mondale in '84, and that was actually one of three Super Tuesdays that year).

Second, if you're not already volunteering in another Super Tuesday state, go here https://www.hillaryclinton.com/grassroots/make-calls/ and click on Oklahoma and make some calls. Do what you can to GOTV.

Hillary is still ahead in the RCP "spread" even though it looks as though Bernie gained some momentum. We'll see how the SC results actually factor in.

OK is Bernie's best bet in the South. But last week when I was calling Oklahomans, my call ratio was 4:1 Hillary over Bernie.

The previous week, it had been about 2:1 Hillary over Bernie, with many "undecided."

We'll see what tomorrow brings. But I don't put OK out of the running for Hillary. Tomorrow will tell.

The others that do not. Hypocrisy at it's finest.

I still see a win for HRC!

We thank the people & move on.

Say's a lot about who's who, doesn't it?

I have my preference and so do others, but that's one issue that keeps Democracy alive!
