It was too good to be true.

When those projections shot up by several points, I suspected something was amiss. Then, when I looked closer at the curves and saw bimodal distributions (basically two bell curves instead of one, which shouldn't happen unless something influenced the data at a given point) on Bernie's side, I grew even more suspicious.

Well, I was right. Those projections were reversed, and current projections are somewhere around what they were earlier today. Specifically, Bernie is once again at >99% to win Vermont.


South Carolina: Clinton 67.2, Sanders 28.5.
Arkansas: Clinton 65.0, Sanders 31.6.
Georgia: Clinton 72.9, Sanders 23.6.
Massachusetts: Clinton 49.7, Sanders 47.1.
Oklahoma: Clinton 52.8, Sanders 43.7 .
Tennessee: Clinton 65.7, Sanders 31.2.
Texas: Clinton 66.7, Sanders 30.3.
Vermont: Sanders 86.0, Clinton 11.7.
Virginia: Clinton 64.4, Sanders 32.6.
Michigan: Clinton 61.6, Sanders 35.6.
North Carolina: Clinton 60.8, Sanders 35.9.
Ohio: Clinton 61.0, Sanders 36.7.

Not that we have much to worry about.

3. Wow

That's a lot of delegates.

4. Hey, whatever gets Democrats motivated, I'm for it.

These polls don't motivate though. We need close races to get people invigorated, putting the time into their civic duties. It's a show of force. And when the polls are close, more people from the side who thought their candidate was going to breeze to an easy victory come out, resulting in even more participation.

This is what our country needs right now, all of us fighting it out to get every last democratic voter to the polls. If I had to guess, I'd say people who participate in primaries are more likely to vote in the G.E. We get that and we'll run the tables in November.

5. Well it helps that Colorado and Minnesota are in a black box right now.

I know there's a LOT of volunteer activity for Hillary here in the Twin Cities.
