based on 'entrance polling,' OH FFS!!!

msnbc announcing this polling, and at the same time, calling them very unreliable.

They are basing it on interviews with people in line to go into caucuses... reported by Pelley on CBS. Hillary 53 - Bernie 40 based on interviews with early arrivers.

But too early to call. No clue how. Very small rural or some form of possible absentee participation. Either way it can't be much of a sign for anything. I will say Sanders strongest places will probably come in a little later than most.

CNN is saying that the number of first time caucus goers is way down from 2008, where 60% of caucus goers were new. Only about 42% are new this time around. Not great news for Sanders.

they haven't been accounted for yet in entry poll data I'm sure.

These people in this tweet haven't even gotten inside yet.
