Solid wins for Clinton and Sanders last night.

While the delegate count for Clinton once again went up, a just over one percent win for Sanders in Michigan was big.

Time to throw out polls in open primary states and caucuses. I wrongfully assumed Clinton would win by about six. For one of the first times I can remember I was in agreement with RobertEarl that republicans were going to hold it close for Sanders.

I think the question going into Ohio will be do the republicans think it is over on their side.

Something positive for everyone. Maybe posting patterns will recognize that.

Onward we go.

There were 1,161,335 votes in the Democratic contest and 1,253,064 in the Republican contest. Since there were more participants in the (R) contest it seems unlikely that any significant number crossed over to vote for Bernie.

Please post a link to some polling that shows the Republican cross over was beneficial for Bernie.

Thanks

You know, what a majority of the comments on this board currently are.

Great win in Michigan for Sanders. I'm not negating that. One vote equals one vote.
