@icoggins1 it's the most ethnically diverse ward in the city of #Albany. It's typically a low turnout ward. Not today.

...terrible, isn't it? If you're a progressive and you're outnumbered by cons in your state some people consider you a con because you live in a 'red state'.

"An April 11 poll for the NY 1 news station showed Sanders leading Clinton in New York 55-38 percent among Hispanic voters.

A national poll released four days earlier, by the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute, found Democratic-leaning Hispanic voters preferred Sanders over the front-running Clinton 48-47 percent."

The unions and local pols and Democratic machine are all on Clinton's side here.

We only have to wait another few hours for the initial wave of exit polls but there's no way he's competitive in the Bronx, for example.
