A CBS News poll found that Bernie Sanders now leads 48 percent to 46 percent.


In Illinois.

[AgerolanAmerican]

1. declare a different home state

New home state: New Yorkansas! See? Illinois who? Nevah hoid ovit.

[Joe the Revelator]

3. 'I remember growing up as a child on the deltas of Mississippi'.

[AgerolanAmerican]

7. such a poor, tough childhood too

what with having to dodge sniper fire walking to school every day

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

10. But she was able to duck behind that pedestrian fence...

[Betty Karlson]

11. ROFL! eom

[mucifer]

2. Holy crap!!!

[JackRiddler]

4. I think she's favored in the D.C. primary.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

13. J Street is a firewall for her.

[HereSince1628]

18. Yes, if nothig else HRC's dream hometown -is- DC

[Laughing Mirror]

58. You've just ruined my day, Jack

I'll have to make some calls.

[Nonhlanhla]

5. How does she go forward?

By continuing to win delegates.

[Joe the Revelator]

9. Yeah, a real people's champion....

LOL

[Nonhlanhla]

15. Since she's ahead in ELECTED delegates

Due to the PEOPLE voting for her, yes.

[Joe the Revelator]

16. The people in one region of the country. Lets see what happens in the next region!

[SCantiGOP]

19. I'll be glad

When this discussion is over --- in about a week or so

[Nonhlanhla]

33. You think she'll lose those states?!

[rhett o rick]

44. Sorry, I responded to the wrong person. nm

[rhett o rick]

47. Those independents that you disparage might be needed in the General. Hubris of the Party Elite

will be their downfall.

[Kalidurga]

6. Talk up New York?

I think she is gonna lose that state too though, but yeah that is what she needs to do.

[Joe the Revelator]

8. She loses NY. I have little doubt on that.

[Kalidurga]

12. That is the one I am watching errrrrrrr was watching.

Now my eyes are on Illinois. Mostly cuz I have thought for a long time New York would go Bernie.

[Betty Karlson]

14. Very little. Sanders keeps growing, Clinton keeps alienating voters.

It's a matter of time before the results catch up with the campaign dynamics.

Meanwhile: 9/11, a gender, and praise Nancy!

[rhett o rick]

43. With all fairness she backed down her admiration for the Reagan's anti-gay

position on HIV/Aids. She hasn't yet try to spin her big "misspeak" about Sanders and the auto bailout. She so totally under estimated the ability of the People to ignore the Corp-Media and seek the truth.

[Autumn Colors]

50. She only backed down because she got called on it (nt)

[rhett o rick]

51. Agree. She forgot she was speaking publically. nm

[Autumn Colors]

48. She's not going to win NY

Bernie is a Brooklyn Native and Vermont is right next to a large part of upstate NY. I'm in Connecticut now, but I grew up in the mid-Hudson Valley. No way is Hillary going to win NY.

I really, REALLY wish our old mechanical, pull-lever voting machines were still used.

[Kalidurga]

53. I know, I was just trying to think what would I do if I was going to lose my home state.

I guess I would start singing New York New York. She doesn't have a bad singing voice, she might be able to pull that off.

[Lizzie Poppet]

17. Can carpetbaggers really be said to have a "home state?"

[Joe the Revelator]

21. And you're still wrong. She was there from Birth through High School. History is not revisable

Its her home state.

[Joe the Revelator]

25. When's the cut off where your home state is no longer your home state?

Is this a rule that's written down somewhere, or are you just making it up as we go along?

[Marr]

34. I don't know... honestly, I wouldn't call New York Sanders' home state.

Not politically, anyway. I think of him as a Vermont guy. That's his political home. I think of Hillary's political home state as Arkansas.

Maybe that's just me. I feel it's somewhat subjective.

[Joe the Revelator]

26. Hillary's own words

"It is always great to be back in Chicago," Clinton said in October. "This is where I was born, where I grew up. Where I made so many life long friends and it is wonderful to be part of an extended community such as Chicago represents."

[Joe the Revelator]

22. Plus she has claimed it as her home state when it has been politically expedient for her to do so.nt

[dubyadiprecession]

24. It's true. Hillary was born there, but has she ever really lived there?

Remember, she was elected senator from New York not Illinois.

[Autumn Colors]

55. New York isn't her home state either

There are a hell of a lot of New Yorkers who don't consider her to be a real New Yorker.

[nadinbrzezinski]

27. It is NOT her home state

really

[Joe the Revelator]

28. When its convenient to her it is:

"It is always great to be back in Chicago," Clinton said in October. "This is where I was born, where I grew up. Where I made so many life long friends and it is wonderful to be part of an extended community such as Chicago represents."

[nadinbrzezinski]

56. And it is the role of the press (I crack me up) and voters to call her on it

[PoliticAverse]

29. If Illinois is Clinton's "home state" is New York Sanders' home state?

I would consider New York (and maybe Arkansas) Clinton's "home state", Vermont Sanders'..

[Joe the Revelator]

38. When she stops claiming it when its helpful for her, then we can stop making an issue out of it.

[brooklynite]

46. The fact that she's a former Senator from NY might have something to do with it.

[Bettie]

49. They should both stay in

throughout the primary.

We need to have the national conversation about where we go from here, which direction to take.

[yourout]

52. Meaner and nastier.

[LiberalElite]

54. I thought her "home state" is now New York nt
