If Bernie Closes the Gap and You're a Superdelegate...

[Garrett78]

12. As I've pointed out many times already...

...it's Sanders who is most reliant on "red" areas. Once he wins Wyoming, he will have won the 4 'reddest' states in the US. If you look at the list of 24 states Romney won in 2012 (with #1 being the state he won by the largest margin and #24 being the state he won by the smallest margin), you find that most of the Deep South states are in the bottom half of the list, while the states Sanders is winning are the reddest of the red.

Clinton won, handily, the 2 most important 'purple' states: Ohio and Florida.

And chances are Clinton's lead will be greater a month from now than it was a week ago. A majority of the remaining delegates are in states that Clinton typically wins: populous, diverse states.

The Clinton-Red State meme lives on, but it doesn't become true just because people keep repeating it.
