John King is on CNN teasing a "55-45" split "hypothetically" in WI, meaning +8 delegates for Sanders if true. That would be a flop for him.

The exit polls suggest that Sanders has not fixed his problem with black voters. He is losing them by a margin of 74 percent to 26 percent in Wisconsin. Luckily for him, they made up just 9 percent of voters. Unfortunately for Sanders, they’ll likely make up more than 15 percent of voters in the biggest delegate prizes this month: Maryland, New York and Pennsylvania

NY, MD, and PA. And as a black voter, I would feel uneasy giving the nomination to someone who consistently loses by those margins. Thank god for the "deep, red conservative South"

How is this already being called when polls haven't closed? Thought they couldn't do that.

they too probably know that both parties have projected winners..........I think it's wrong to project winners with folks in line waiting to cast ballots........what's the point now?

10. Interesting stats:

Clinton, for her part, was aided by the fact that mainline Democrats accounted for a bigger than usual share of primary voters – seven in 10, up from 62 percent in 2008 and on pace for a record in the state. She did much better with Democrats than with independents, a strongly pro-Sanders group, here as elsewhere.

12. Is anybody surprised or phased by this win?

Not I.

Bernie wins another yugely predominante white state while making no inroads on the black vote.

Let's see where it ends up in the delegate count.

I didn't imagine he'd keep a double digit lead going.
