That's a really nice graphic the NYTimes has.

I'm going to leave it up tonight so I can see what's happening there.

Thanks for posting it!

I didn't think he really had a shot here...but he's making this a REAL battle. Most people I know who were voting Bernie were like "I'm voting but I don't think he would win."

Apparently Detroit cast 163,000 votes in the 2008 primary, so I think that will be important to see how they have voted.

Still, it's already a very good showing across the state for Bernie!

My polling precinct (Within Detroit) had a very solid showing.
No idea how things will go once Wayne county is counted. Clinton certainly seems to have the Black religious vote... so she may ends up the top runner in the county. But we shall see!
This will be a huuuuuge upset if Sanders pulls this out?

Could be a good evening for Bernie!

Now up to 5.9% reporting in Wayne County, Bernie up 7308 to Hill's 6035

If that trend holds, could be yuuuuuge!!!

(They held their primary too early, and were penalized by the DNC.)

The count was 55% Hillary and 40% "uncommitted", which I guess means like 40% for Obama ? ? ?

Hillary got 34.5 delegates, Obama got 29.5

Argument for not giving up the fight for the nomination even though Obama wasn't on the ballot! Thanks!
