Bill was in Evansville, IN earlier this week too. She will do well enough in OR to get close to half of the delegates. In CA, she will spend a lot of cash, but why start so far ahead of the primary when she doesn't have to.

As he would give them a solution to get out of coal mining. Frankly I'm inclined to shift them to a tourist economy as they have some BEAUTIFUL places to sight-see.

No reason to throw money away...save it for the General. I look at Bernies's ad money, and I can't help but think...how much better it would be spent down ballot.
