I felt so down tonight but then I saw that Hillary has a 217 delegate lead on CNN.com!

Awesome.

Link here:

766-Hill
549-BS

217 pledged will be a tad difficult for BS to overcome!!

Also, so glad that I found this group so that I don't have to hide my HRC support on DU anymore!

yelling for Hillary to get out in 2008 when she was down 50.

217? I can't see how that gets made up if victories are like tonight--win a surprise state and still fall further behind.

I do want to see Ohio and Illinois next Tuesday, but for right now? We have little to worry about.

vote to 1.6 million+, still ahead of all candidates in both parties.

MI was a bit of a shocker considering the polls, and I congratulate Bernie on his win.

But it was no game-changer.

I am a PBO supporter and yeah it did turn ugly for us almost immediately after the 2008 election!

Thanks for the welcome guys!

I had a strange feeling that we'd lose MI but I do think we get a 5/5 sweep next Tiesday!
