Our chances on 4/26

So realistically, with how demographics have skewed through this campaign. What states on 4/26 do we have an actual shot at? Rhode Island and maybe Pennsylvania? I'd love to see Conneticut come over, but the polling only a week out looks glum.

Obama only had 920 delegates at this point in the race and he lost NY to $Shill by 17 points. Bernie has 1105 delegates and he lost by 15%. Obama went on to beat Hillary.

What am I missing here? What is different now?

I don't recall the details of 2008.

social media as well as enhanced close relations between media and tptb, making it more difficult for people to learn and to resist acting like lemmings.

that Obama had more delegates than Bernie at this time. They've been saying it for weeks. Really, if this is true, the Bernie team should be mentioning it every time they get a minute on the air.

We lost our chance to win the nomination, legitimately(w/out FBI help), last night. At this point, we have to begin to push our message strong. I'd say let's cause havoc and fight to the end.

people challenging the games played in the other states than Obama did. So only time will tell. He has the votes to win, it is the vote counters he is having a problem with.

Phoenixes, modern day phoenixes. That's what we need to become. Full of flame and fury, a cleanse more scouring than sunlight. This movement can't be allowed to fall-- we'll never see the same exponential growth that has sprung from Occupy like this ever again.
