.... just getting a head start.

Given that blacks came out in historic proportions to vote for Obama, and black turnout has been significantly lower as a share of the electorate when he is not on the ballot, I find it hard to believe that black turnout today is higher proportionally than in 2008.

It could be that the African American participation stayed constant while white participation went down or they both went down but white participation went down more.

We saw that phenomenon in NY.

That is the only plausible explanation if black turnout is indeed up as a share of the vote. It could be that the white vote dropped as a percentage because more whites switched parties and crossed over, since unlike in 2008 the GOP primary is still competitive.

I understand more youth would mean more Sanders. It's good to have everyone involved.

We are approaching semester finals and such. That may have played into it a bit as well.

at the time I read the comment earlier, so the adjusted numbers might be better later...these are early exits, and we know how that can go.

For the record, I expect to see Hillary's numbers with voters under 30 improve with these states. Just a feeling.

unusually busy.

that sure does look nice!
