No one can get in to vote because he is there. That ain't cool.

myself away.

Between the "even in DEFEAT, Bernie wins!111" posts and how everything evil in the world is Bill or Hillary's fault, I am wheezing from laughing so hard.

MA is literally tailor made for Bernie. I think theyll split delegates.

Massachusetts voters are coming out in what may be record numbers, topping 2008. Most of that is due to what is happening on the right, of course, but high turnout is normally expected to benefit Bernie more than Hillary. Yadayada. And this is, after all, one of the states Bernie's actually been hoping he might win.

I want her to win, but I think also the more support is demonstrated for Bernie the quicker the economic points he is hitting in his campaign become accepted into the mainstream. Plus, even he is soft-pedaling the menace from the "billionaire" right, but at least he is hitting that point on national TV.

Go, Hillary. Go Democrats!

delegates are chosen proportionally. Did that change? The 94% number is great for rah, rah, but it doesn't reflect the delegate count. LEAST WE FORGET.
