OK They just called it for Sanders. So Bernie wins by about 2 points. Indies swayed the vote.

Yeah, this was a huge polling blunder but what happened here is the polling models and techniques missed the college kids and Indies who were able to vote in the open primary. Good for the Sanders people, but now we go on to FL, IL, NC, and OH.

On the night, Hillary wins the larger share of delegates with a huge win in Mississippi.

That's possibly part of it too. Mainly I think they under-polled college kids and the Indies. RBInMaine Mar 2016 #9

that are still out. Anyway, I'm probably going to take a few days break from DU as it is going to be unbearable around here. Let's hope next week will have wins in Florida, Illinois and particularly Ohio where I think Bernie will really go all out to win.

The open ones are kind of a killer...but she'll regroup, keep up her fight and of course still way up in delegates... And nothing like Trump to being out huge support for the Dems in the GE...

Of course, he can't win for losing. We just burned two more states behind us, Clinton walked out with a delegate lead and insignificant loss in her targets. She'll retool for Ohio and Illinois, he won't.

If we had fifty more nights like tonight, Bernie would catch up. We don't, we now have 29 states remaining.
