My dad and his girlfriend (previously undecided) voted for Bernie today in PA!

A couple weeks ago when they visited they were both undecided, but my dad just responded to my text and said they both voted for Bernie. Hopefully more undecideds will do the same. The fact that Bernie is considered to have almost no chance of being the nominee at this point might actually help him. People whose hearts are with Bernie but heads are with Hillary (I met a lot of people like that when I canvassed for Bernie in New York) may feel freer now to follow their heart since they don't think he has much chance to win. That may have been part of what happened in Michigan as well.
