It DOES, however, enable several varieties of DNC zombies to dance around the graves they try to dig for this nation and the world.

NYTimes also calls it for Clinton (based on AP). MSNBC just called it as well.

On edit - now NYTimes is saying 1% of precincts again - this must be a mistake.

I hope their are enough people in line that know the name of the game. Delegate count. Tell the people around them. It's important they stay and vote. It's crap that the lines are this long.

I was watching. Lines around the block in Phoenix. That's what happens when you go from 200 polling places to 60. And projecting for HRC while people are waiting to vote is what happens when the media are in the bag for a particular candidate.

Bernie was supposed to win the next eight states. The internets said Nate Silver said so.

Never mind that such was never posted on the FiveThirtyEight blog.

They often get overlooked, as we get told she should drop out, etc.

Goes both ways.

have posted comparison photos of his large rallies and Hillary's more modest events. The irony is that despite his large rallies, she has won more states and has garnered more pledged delegates. AZ is one more example.
