except for IL, Obama lost all the states Bernie lost tonight. and MO was a tie in 2008 the delegate count was also much smaller in 2008 so it was almost a tie. Yet he won despite all this and Sanders ended up with more delegates so far than Obama did on these states in 2008 http://politics.nytimes.com/election-guide/2008/results/states/OH.html just typing in the state letters for each state in those links IL.html NC.html etc the numbers don't ad up for Hillary. They add up for a split decisiion yet again 8 yrs later.
These are just my numbers for tonight and write offs
62 OH Republicans Popular Vote Win
45 NC Democrats Popular Vote Win
65 FL Republican Popular Vote Win
32 MO Republican Popular Vote Win
67 IL Democrats Popular Vote Win
may edit this later (Edit 1) zzzzzzz they'll call it in my sleep no doubt .
Edit 2 MO still not called yet and Bernie has more delegates so waiting on that
Final Edit MO in. removed the net gains think everyone knows by now she's not making a 100 net gain on this round. Might change here and there but I'm not editing this anymore. was just waiting till MO was called and it really hasn't but at least it was tied like it was 8 yrs ago.
