I am sitting here tonight reading all these interpretations of Sanders' speech, and of course I do not believe it is over. And I am not the least bit stressed at what people are saying on GD-P. Anything can happen in politics at any time. By my calculation, Hilliary will net roughly 76 more delegates than Sanders (at least for now) as a result of today's races.

But Sanders knocked Hillary's lead down from a little over 300 points to about 197 with his previous string of wins (that was about the time of the race in Hawaii). People said then when Hillary had the 300 point advantage that Sanders could never overcome that. He did make a serious dent in it though, and add to that about 76 more delegates and she should be a little more than over 300 once again ahead (not including supers of course). So perhaps he can catch up with California and Oregon and others, perhaps not. But it is certainly not the time to throw in the towel -- not tonight.... He has worked too hard to give up now.

And his numbers in California are looking very good. Oregon as well is loving Sanders. And that is not all....
