New York's Primary is April 19 and several others in the NE a week later

If Hillary Clinton wins NY, PA and CT, which seems likely, the wailing and gnashing of teeth is going to be horrendous, it seems to me. Maybe I'll go on a vacation to someplace with no internet access. Either that or ask my MD about increasing the dosage of my blood pressure medicine. Or something. I don't know.

Goober peas. You won't find them anywhere but in Georgia and some other southern states. There, you'll see signs at every highway exit for someone selling them. They's good!

Either way, things are going to get excited following those primaries in the Northeast, for sure.

New York and Pennsylvania are closed primaries, where Sanders has done disastrously, and good luck selling the PLCAA to Connecticut.

It's why she leads by high double digits.

I'd expect Clinton to do better in DE than in CT.

MD (as in Maryland), NY and PA will likely give Clinton an even bigger delegate lead than she had before March 26th.

and Sanders will have to admit he has no path to the nomination, and his supporters will realize that.

But, those votes haven't happened yet, and won't be complete for another month, so we'll see--Sanders will win Wisconsin in a blowout so Sanders supporters will be feeling very good up until 4/18 for sure.

I think it will be close and pretty much divide up its delegates pretty evenly, really. Wisconsin's hard to predict, though. Clinton's leading 50 to 44 in the latest poll, though.

58-40 is also where Nate Silver pegs this contest based on demographics.

Clinton victory there would be a major upset and would have major implications for the rest of the race.

I live in Minnesota, and figuring out Wisconsin isn't something I try to do. We'll find out soon, though.
