Ohio is better than I ever dreamed

69% in and HRC is leading 56-43. Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) is giving her a 67-32 edge with nearly 700 precincts yet to report in. Lucas County (Toledo) gives her a 59-41 lead. Summit County (Akron) is a 57-41 lead. Montgomery County (Dayton) has her up 61-39. Franklin County (Columbus) gives HRC a 55-44 lead (so far) and Hamilton County (Cincinnati) has her up by 63-37 (though there is still a lot of precincts out there).

It also looks like she has won all the counties along the Pennsylvania border which is good news for that upcoming primary.

She would have been ok with a squeaker, truth be told. I feel like you do and she must be over the moon! I hope so. She's really working hard for this.

says he can't win, and after tonight, that dream is even further away than it was yesterday. Hillary's gonna wind up with 300+ delegate tonight alone. Like Chuck Toad says, from here on out, anything Sanders wins may be a "moral victory" of sorts, but it's inconsequential. Super delegates won't be flocking to the guy who's running hundreds of points behind his challenger in pledged delegates.

He's having a revolution. He loves it, loves talking about, loves everyone hearing about it. He's got a taste of this and I don't see him letting go. I read they have a 10 pt plan for what they want at convention, including a restructuring of the system by which the dem nom is elected. Read: nix on super dels. He's going to try making nutty demands on Hillary.

I found what I referenced earlier-

If Sanders doesn’t win the nomination, that’ll be it. That’s what they decided at Bill Press’s house two years ago, and they’re sticking to it.

“My first question was, 'Is he running as a Democrat?'” said Ben Tulchin, the pollster that Sanders resisted hiring until Devine forced a meeting on him last fall, when Sanders was traveling through San Francisco.

“Tad said, 'Absolutely. We're not going to be Nader.’”

They’re already prepping the fallback plan: 10 areas, including killing Obama’s trade deals and changing the super-delegate process that they’re going to organize around and try forcing into the Democratic platform.

God knows no one can count on Sanders to do that. Pandering will happen.

think unification is possible as they are likely Greens, Larouchies & Gawd only knows what else. "Democrats" have to step it up and vote, and that doesn't even take into consideration the percentage of Republicans who have said they'll vote for Hillary if Trump winds up with the nomination. So, I think we'll be fine, and BS can go on back to the Senate, and get back to work attacking Democrats.

feeling I got when Nader ran against Gore. I think the intent is to burn the whole thing down, from the inside, and that makes me sick.

I know the targets have a pretty even split with a slight Sanders win.

I simply don't see it happening. Philadelphia is not going to go for Sanders, and Pittsburgh certainly isn't. Nor can I see the Lehigh Valley doing so, we're a bit too feet on the ground (I live there). Harrisburg is too small to swing the state and will probably split the vote anyway.

Sanders will dominate the State College area and the low-population mid-state counties.

Our primary is closed, and the registration date is quickly approaching. There are no reports of major registration runs.

and especially proud of my county (Montgomery). I have met many supporters of hers in the last couple of months and let's just say the enthusiasm and dedication they have shown is simply amazing and inspiring.
