Another good night for HRC campaign. Not only gaining more delegates but further outdoing BS in

"Delegate Target" for the night

From 538...

Now you might be saying, but didn’t we expect Sanders to do poorly in Louisiana? Yes, that’s true. But according to our delegate targets, which takes that into account, Sanders is now 3 delegates further behind the pace he needs to win a majority of pledged delegate than he was at the beginning of the day. Considering he was already running 82 delegates behind his delegate goals, he needs to be exceeding his delegate targets.

Overall, it was actually a bad day for Sanders by the math, even with his two wins.

it is not independent, and follows a logical path from start to finish.

Positively Clintonian.

and Maine has 30 delegates. So how can he level the weekend out with Maine?

Then Tuesday we have:

Michigan 147

Mississipi 41

He won in a blow out in Kansas, but the actual raw numbers of votes/percentages still did not result in a significant difference in delegates. She did far more to advance by winning big in the primary with 59 delegates last night. Even if Michigan is closer on Tuesday, she will still fair very well in Mississippi. That state alone has the largest AA proportion of the Democratic parry and if patterns continue, she could have a substantial haul.
