Wow! What a great night for HRC (HRC group)

Congratulations to HRC and all of her volunteers and supporters. Landslides in Texas (the biggest prize of 'em all), Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, Virginia, America Somoa all ranging from 63%-78% of the vote--and a hard fought victory in Bernie's back yard of Massachusetts. Add this to her wins in Iowa, Nevada and South Carolina. This is truly a national campaign.

Once again she demonstrated she is the candidate who can win Latinos and African-Americans. She even won the White vote overall tonight. She came out with a huge lead in delegates which will be insurmountable. She is competing everywhere and not just picking and choosing.

I see that the Bernie people are pleased, too. That's fine. They think this was a great night because Bernie won his home state and three other states. I congratulate them. But they still haven't shown that they can win among diverse populations. In Oklahoma, HRC won the minority vote overwhelmingly. Vermont and Minnesota are overwhelmingly white. I'm not sure what the entrance polls polls showed in Colorado.

So far, HRC has proven she can win in every region of the country and we can look ahead to strong showings in the weeks ahead. In the next week she should have big victories in Louisiana, Michigan and Mississippi. Then on March 15 she is favored in Illinois, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio. I concede that Bernie might win the Maine and Nebraska caucuses.

Are you feeling good? Are you ready for Madam President?

There are a lot of delegates in those states, and they are all purple to blue, so for those people who are more impressed with wins in states that could go blue in the fall, this should matter.

and I was proud to vote for our next President, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Some of BSS think people like me shouldn't have a voice in picking the nominee.
