Red Oak's JournalSanders wins in Wisconsin
Tuesday's victory by Sanders gives his presidential campaign further momentum after a series of wins over Democrat Hillary Clinton.
He will also get a solid boost heading into the delegate-rich New York primary on April 19.
Sanders told a Wyoming audience on Tuesday night that he thinks his recent momentum could translate into more superdelegates, who are free to support whichever candidate regardless of who wins their state, flocking to his campaign.
"I think a lot of these superdelegates are going to be saying which candidate has the momentum, which one brings out huge numbers," Sanders said.
Heading into Tuesday's contest, polls showed Sanders ahead by a slim margin. And one of the state's top pollsters, Charles Franklin, who runs the Marquette Law School poll, projected Sanders to win by 4 percentage points.

Sanders wins in Wisconsin, keeping alive his improbable bid for the nomination
Sanders held a boisterous rally Tuesday night in Wyoming, the site of Democratic caucuses Saturday. Screams erupted and the crowd broke into chants of “Bernie! Bernie! Bernie!” in an auditorium at the University of Wyoming in Laramie when Sanders shared the news that the networks had called Wisconsin for him.
“If we wake up the American people, and working people and middle-class people and senior citizens and young people begin to stand up and fight back and come out and vote in large numbers, there is nothing that we cannot accomplish,” he said.

Five thirty eight list of polls:
March 14-16 Hillary up by 48%
March 29th - April 1st - Hillary up by 10%
It's the math!
Clinton Can’t Get to New York Fast Enough After New Sanders Win
"As the last ballots were cast in Wisconsin, Clinton was meeting with 60 donors at a campaign fundraiser in New York. Her campaign is hosting a news conference in the Bronx on Wednesday morning with Democratic borough officials and Latino leaders who support her."

It comes down to New York.
Can you imagine Senator Clinton getting the nomination and NOT winning her self-proclaimed home state?
Let's follow the new Bernie attacks here
He doesn't know how to use the subway
He doesn't know how to break up the big banks
He is too pro guns
The math (oh, the math)
Let's see what camp weathervane adds this week as the mud machine spins up
Would love to hear from New Yorkers
Given that Hillary was a Senator from New York through expedient political triangulation, she also spent her formative years in Illinois, Massachusetts and Arkansas.
Do the people of New York consider her one of their own or is she considered a carpetbagger?
From Websters Dictionary:
Carpetbagger - b. a political candidate who runs for office in a place where he or she has lived only for a short time
In August, Hillary had a 54% lead over Bernie Sanders
In April, Bernie beats her by over 11%.
That is a huge swing.
What happened Hillary?
Trust issues?
Clinton's frustration grows, as primary race drags on
"After a year of campaigning, months of debates and 35 primary elections, Sanders is finally getting under Clinton's skin in the Democratic presidential race.
Clinton has spent weeks largely ignoring Sanders and trying to focus on Republican front-runner Donald Trump. Now, after several primary losses and with a tough fight in New York on the horizon, Clinton is showing flashes of frustration with the Vermont senator - irritation that could undermine her efforts to unite the party around her candidacy.
According to Democrats close to Hillary and former President Bill Clinton, both are frustrated by Sanders' ability to cast himself as above politics-as-usual even while firing off what they consider to be misleading attacks. The Clintons are even more annoyed that Sanders' approach seems to be rallying - and keeping - young voters by his side."

Bernie Sanders is giving Hillary Clinton a real run for the nomination
"But look at the bigger picture: It’s April and Clinton has not managed to put away a 74-year-old avowed socialist who wasn’t even a Democrat until he began his campaign. Why is that not worrisome?
Clinton’s disapproval rating is consistently higher than her approval numbers — an average of 55 percent to 40 percent, according to Huffpost Pollster. (This would be seen as a crisis if Trump’s disapproval numbers were not even higher.) Substantial numbers of voters say they do not trust her.
In isolation, let’s face it, she looks beatable in the fall. Fortunately for her, the Republican Party doesn’t look capable of beating anybody . But I wouldn’t want to bet everything on GOP dysfunction."

and this on WaPo! They must be getting worried.
What's the current status of Clinton's Goldman transcripts?
Is her position still that all politicians everywhere must release their speeches before she does?
Those must be some damning transcripts for her not to have released yet.
I wonder if the Republican opposition has a copy of one or more of them and is waiting to use them during the general election?
Did Hillary agree to the New York debate
because her campaign's internal polls are showing a rapid erosion of support within New York?
