1. I Can't Look.

[Cha]

35. I know what you mean, stonecutter... I stayed out all day so when I came back

it would be over.

3. Fingers crossed

[book_worm]

4. CBS just updated it to toss-up.

[ismnotwasm]

5. Yikes!

[vdogg]

6. Anybody familiar with the area?

Where are our strongholds? Big cities always report last so if we can keep it close in the rural parts we might just pull this off.

[wysi]

7. Hillary is crushing it in Suffolk County

Which includes Boston and some of the North Shore, and will do well in general out east. Bernie will do better in the rural areas (I am from western MA originally).

[book_worm]

9. Great! Is there a map somewhere of the counties?

[wysi]

10. The Mass live site in the OP has a map...

... but I'm not sure it has county boundaries shown.

[book_worm]

13. Great! Thanks.

[wysi]

12. Sorry replying again...

Just checked the site again, the Mass Live map has city and town boundaries shown. My hometown (Pittsfield) is showing blue for Hillary at the moment.

[Cha]

36. Crushing in Boston! YAY! Smart!

[book_worm]

8. 3% in and HRC 50-49

[Tarheel_Dem]

11. If we can avoid a blowout in MA, I'll be happy. It's the delegates that count at this point. nt

[Cha]

37. We WON!!!1 YAYAY~!!!!!!

[Tarheel_Dem]

44. I'll be honest, I didn't expect it. I don't think anyone did.

[Cha]

45. Ground game! I bet James Taylor is happy, too!

[Tarheel_Dem]

46. I love me some James Taylor.

[Cha]

47. Mahalo for James' "You've Got A Friend", Tarheel! Carol King's too!

[book_worm]

14. In Newton with 17 of 32 prec reporting HRC up 64-36.

[wysi]

15. Yeah!

Now that's more like it. The vast majority of the population of the state lives right around Boston, so that's promising.

[book_worm]

16. In Brookline 14/16 precincts HRC up 62-38

21. This is going to be a nailbiter

Won't matter for delegates, but symbolically, him losing a state in his backyard would not be good.

25. Mad Berners Accuse Bill Clinton Of Ruining Super Tuesday

and meanwhile the bernie bros are busy with pointing fingers
http://www.vocativ.com/news/292163/mad-berners-accusing-bill-clinton-of-ruining-super-tuesday/

"If you listen to furious Bernie Sanders die-hards, Bill Clinton, former POTUS, is running around America waging a one-man war on our democracy. Mr. Clinton was out on the trail for his wife on Super Tuesday and caused an mini-uproar when he strayed too close to a polling station."

[jmowreader]

31. I am SO glad to see a low-post-count Hillary supporter. Thank you. Sincerely.

Welcome aboard!

[noa]

32. you welcome

[fun n serious]

34. Sock puppet alert. nt

[Agnosticsherbet]

26. Leading by about 21,000 votes now!

[Cha]

38. Hehe. :)

[BlueMTexpat]

27. It's been see-sawing all night

but Hillary has been in the lead for the longest time. Right now she's up by 5%.

Whatever happens, MA will not be a blowout for either candidate.

[Cha]

39. Whatever happens.. is that Hillary won Massachusetts.. right in BS' backyard, Blue!

I'm playing catch up.. out all day.. came back for scores!

[BlueMTexpat]

42. That was indeed great,

if for nothing other than its symbolism. Now will MA also not count, do you think?

About OK, there was mention of a huge influx of first-time voters which likely was a factor in the polls getting it wrong because Clinton was definitely favored among those who were LT Dems. From my calling there, I also know that even those Dems who favored Bernie stated that they would support Hillary in the GE.

Those first-time voters though - how many were really Dems trying to help Bernie as opposed to those registering merely to defeat Hillary - is something that we likely won't know until the GE.

As far as MN & CO, caucuses are always difficult to predict. I hoped for a better Hillary outcome in both, but it was not to be. I believe that both will definitely be in the Dem column for the GE though. Bernie deserves kudos for his wins tonight.

A great link for an overview of last night (excluding American Samoa which isn't reflected there) is the NYT coverage. http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results

IMO, that NYT coverage was better than anything on TV. Best of all, one didn't have to watch/hear Drumpf preening and posturing like the bully that he so clearly is. What a total a**h*** he is!

[Cha]

43. Thanks for the link, Blue! And, Mahalo for calling!

[book_worm]

28. Boston is the key

Like Des Moines delivered Iowa to Hillary it is possible that Boston will deliver MA to HRC, there are only 88 out of 255 precincts reporting and HRC is up by 12.

[book_worm]

29. Springfield, MA 64/64 precincts reporting HRC won 61-38

[livetohike]

30. YAY!

[Cha]

40. Springfield.. that's Western Mass.. and she won Boston!!

[fun n serious]

33. We won Mass!!!

[Cha]

41. Yep, Bottom Line, fun!
