Just goes to show the old saying is STILL true - "all politics is local."

I think that it was potential Hillary voters that crossed over. Think about it, it is Bernie voters who are most enthusiastic about their candidate, who are least likely to abandon him in a very critical primary in a very critical state. It was Clinton who was ahead big in Ohio early and whose voters might have believe they could cross over without hurting their candidate.

Thousands of Bernie crossing to vote for Kaisch - I just don't see it. If Hillary wins Ohio, it will be despite of the cross over vote, not because of it.

many independents registered dem to help kasick. They are also a good chunk of Bernie's supporters. The traditional dems went and voted Hillary.

The early big lead is mostly because of which precincts have reported and which haven't

Also see the poll results that I have posted below. Those are more reasonable expectations.
