she's down to 50% Cobalt Violet Mar 2016 #45
She's at 50.9 to bernie's 47.9 alcibiades_mystery Mar 2016 #46
2.6 point spread, 24,000 votes alcibiades_mystery Mar 2016 #55
Seems like an early call to me alcibiades_mystery Mar 2016 #57
Not really. She was expected to win by 10 there just a few weeks ago. reformist2 Mar 2016 #18
Ok. DCBob Mar 2016 #19
the rest will be mostly for bernie. Cobalt Violet Mar 2016 #38

He *is* doing well. He may even win. But even if he doesn't, 49% is pretty good! reformist2 Mar 2016 #33

It's apparently going to flip the entire election scenario in Massachusetts.

Whenever you read "Clinton" do you always go into a defensive posture?
Nixon Plumbers did that, GW Bush supporters were always on the defensive.e

Bill Clinton and he thinks he "is"above the law. He should be charged and made to appear in court

And that is the definition of "is"

Boston metro's in.

I think Bernie will flip that exactly: 52-47.

He'll win and take a couple more delegates, but not a big haul.

63% in Newtown with all precincts counted. That's a surprise.

What's your source? I'm using NY Times live version.

Clinton is definitely overperforming in Boston metro. She's hitting 60+ percent in many of those areas.

There's still a lot of likely Clinton vote out there, and she has a 29,000 vote lead. It's going to be tight. She's also winning and making a contest of the odd Western Mass areas, and overperforming in Boston metro.

Worcester is the only city left uncounted it looks like. Most of the wealthy burbs have been counted already. The rest looks pretty blue collar to me.

Not sure there's enough vote/lead-in-vote out there to overcome it.

Maybe.

Will be fun.

If that's the case Bernie's situation is hopeless if he cant win a state like MA. What states are he going to win to close the gap?

No blowout but a huge win for Hillary if she wins given many thought Bernie would do well in MA.

DCBob

47. Yes, that is good..
Tue Mar 1, 2016, 11:45 PM

But if he intends on winning this thing he needs to win states like MA and win in a fairly big way to make up losses in other states.

It seems a bit ridiculous that we are all here sweating what is essentially a draw.

Additionally, Dems have 2-fold lead over the GOP vote tally, which is refreshing.

At this point draws don't matter. With her current margin a tie is as good as win.

I'm calling it for Bernie in a squeaker, split delegates, call it a night.

P.S. All Clinton voters in MA should be DQ'ed for cheating, and should thank Bill Clinton for his illegal electioneering.
