Who lives in a March 1st primary state?

This morning, on several shows, Bernie was asked what states he thinks he can win on March 1.
These are the ones he named: Vermont, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Colorado, Oklahoma.
He did not mention: Texas, Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, or Virginia.

Your thoughts, my friends?

She was the state's first lady for 12 years, she'll get tons of votes just for that.

However, none of the Arkansas voters in my family (including me) are voting for her.

I think it'll tighten up and Clinton will have to send Bill to save it. Clinton will probably win it, but at a significantly smaller margin.

Of course, polls have been shown to be way off, and I hope Bernie makes a good showing in the state. But I won't be surprised if Hillary does carry the state by double digits.

 
2. I'm in Colorado. It is his.

I honestly and truthfully will say this, I have seen absolutely no Clinton-related activities here in Denver. I learned that Clinton didn't even bother to open an office until February 9th, and it was lost under the Broncos Super Bowl parade of over one million people.

He'll win Colorado, easily with about 60-65% of the vote, if not more because of Clinton's anti-pot stance - "More research needed" - MY FOOT!

I am not sure.

On the Repub side I'm more confident that it will be Trump. Or possibly Kasich. I don't see Cruz or Rubio appealing.

Hillary has a huge...yooooge lead...especially among African Americans.
I expect her to easily win Georgia....as will Trump.

Rochester has a lot of phone-banking and door-to-door as does MSP. I don't know about other parts of the state...I live about halfway between the two. Seeing ads from both campaigns, about an equal number, for about a week now. I think Bernie will win here. I have not seen any polling, though.
