This election is not over on Super Tuesday

Yeah, Hillary will likely come out ahead in delegates. Most of the Super Tuesday states are in the Southeast where she holds significant leads over Bernie. However after that the playing field arguably turns to Bernie's favor. Barring a media shit storm and people becoming discouraged, Bernie stands to do very very well after March 1st. This thing is far from over.

...is the same as Super Tuesday 2008.

In 2008 23 primaries voted on Super Tuesday. This year it's 13.

But we Bernie supporters know better. Bernie is in it til the convention and so are we. I'm still excited to see just how much Bernie can narrow the gap in those states even if he doesn't win most of them.
