Super Tuesday: HRC: 3,534,937 (61%) BS: 2,264,297 (39%)

A big win in the popular vote for HRC taking 3.5 million votes to Bernie's 2.2 million and a 61-39 percent spread. Her best states were Alabama (78-19) and Georgia (71-28) again with overwhelming support among African-Americans.

The biggest prize was Texas which HRC won 65-33 and picked up 122 delegates to 48. Her coalition was diverse, as usual, winning African-Americans 80-18 and Latinos (who made up nearly 30% of the turnout) 67-33. She even narrowly won the white vote.

2. Also Bernie won two caucus states where turnout was low

in the caucus states of MN & CO turnout was relatively small. For instance, in Minnesota about 190,000 people turned out compared to the primary state of Georgia (relatively same size) where over 750,000 voted. In Colorado the turnout was about 125,000. This tells me that the activists really did turnout and that helped BS.

4. Caucus is a pain

because it started at 7pm after people got home after work on a Tuesday. And then you have to stay for the whole thing instead of voting and getting out. Caucuses should probably happen on weekends.

5. I agree.

3. Popular vote was important after New Hampshire

Decreasingly so since then.

Unless Bernie wins a couple of big states. Then it will be very important again.

6. Not feeling the Bern I guess! Has the revolution started yet?

7. The revolution has been delayed

due to Spring Break and lack of interest. Please check back in four more years.
