- Winner: Mississippi. -- nm - ML Apr 11, 06:57
- This one is tough to declare a winner. - Will Hunting Apr 11, 06:57

Delegate math for ty97: Clinton needs 33% of remaining, Sanders, 67% -- (link) - decline Apr 11, 06:25 16
- Here's your delegate goals for April (Hillary/Bernie): NY 122/125, CT: 27/28, MD: 53/42, PA: 93/96, RI: 11/13 (Thats Bernie winning 4 of those states) -- nm - MDH Apr 11, 06:39 4
  - That seems unlikely for Bernie. -- nm - TWuG Apr 11, 06:40 3
    - If it happened, it would demonstrate a fundamental shift in demographic voting patterns and the overall race. -- nm - ty97 Apr 11, 06:41 2
      - This. NY will be interesting. If Hillary wins by 14-18 as recent polls show, that'll set the tone for the rest of April. -- nm - MDH Apr 11, 06:46 1
        
        I agree NY will be interesting, though I think (due to the 'home state' NY effect, PA/MD will be more telling) - ty97 Apr 11, 06:48
- Only if you include super delegates in the calculation - znufrii Apr 11, 06:33
- [deleted] 6
  - yeah, I ignore supers. The math without supers is either 56 or 57% for Sanders right now. - ty97 Apr 11, 06:30 5
    - I have to say that I'm kind of surprised he's done this well. - Krusty Apr 11, 06:41 4
      - He has far exceeded any and all expectations that even the most liberal and hopeful prognosticators could have forecast. - ty97 Apr 11, 06:47 3
        
        I think it's basically because..... - volnelk Apr 11, 06:54
        
        I really want it to be because America is moving left but I don't think that's the case, at least not in any meaningful way. - Krusty Apr 11, 06:51 1
        
        I think/hope part of it is that the younger element of the Democratic party (and of previously non-party affiliated young people) is further left - ty97 Apr 11, 06:57
- and the GOP: Trump 61%, Cruz: 87%, Kaisch: 138% -- (link) - decline Apr 11, 06:26
- Bernie falls farther behind with each of his wins. -- nm - TWuG Apr 11, 06:26 1
  - April is going to be tough. Bernie's goal for NY delegates alone would have him beating Hillary 51-49 or so. -- nm - MDH Apr 11, 06:35
Harkening back to yesterday's discussion about NY's tough rules on party switching.....two of Trump's children got caught by it. - ty97 Apr 11, 06:24 6
