It would be great and funny if he wins Michigan because it would basically make him Anti-Mondale. Lord knows how much poligaf and establishment democrats talk about him being too far left and how we'd end up with a blowout if Bernie reaches the GE. This might be proof of his viability after all.
Bernie up by 25,000 votes at halftime (50% of the vote in Michigan in)
Bernie pls
May be misinformation but a poster said some key Clinton zones have yet to be counted.

It's not over yet. I'd love to be happy for a Sanders win but Clinton may still have this.
Yep, I'm not going to get ahead of myself.
I really feel bad for Sanders supporters that really don't understand that it really doesn't matter at this stage if Sanders starts winning more races. If things remain flat through Super Tuesday, he could win every race that follows by double digits and still not beat her pledged delegate count. These low expectations for his performance only serves to extend their suffering.
Oh please

Each state he wins gives me hope for the future. If his ideas and honesty can gain traction in a super old Jewish male package then there is a lot of hope for the future. If Bernie 2.0 is an intelligent, attractive and likable fifty to sixty year old person then they've got a real shot come 2024.
 
Y'know, I'd say I was looking forward to Bernie's speech if he wins, but we all know it's gonna be the "half a year ago this campaign was nothing and behind by 50 points, but look at us now!" stuff we've heard many times before.
no need to look back half a year ago, just a couple of weeks ago he was trailing hillary by what? 20 points?

I am hillary supporter but this is impressive.

we got you Hildawg
 
And he'd still walk away behind his target for the state and down a bunch more delegates. The time for 'moral victories' is over - Bernie needs *real* victories, and while a win would be super impressive, it doesn't change the dynamic of the race in any significant way.

But yeah, WTF is up with the polling there?

This. She has cleaned up Mississippi by a way larger amount. Yeah the raw amount of delegates is less but it cancels out any win here.
 
This thread is moving too fast...so I can't go back...But did one of you guys really say Bernie could win every state to follow by double digit leads and not catch up to Hillary in delegates? Ummm... What?

If you're taking superdelegates into consideration on that, you really need to learn how they've historically functioned.

Wow @ that drop. 5% to 1%!
 
I mean, make no mistake, this is a big, big night for Bernie. Gaining 20 points overnight is a huge deal, even if in the end he was 25 points behind. Everybody should still be asking themselves what went wrong with the polls and whether Bernie has more in this race than we expected.

At the same time, he's perilously close to the delegate line in Mississippi, which is information that looks a lot like business as usual.
 
Reading all your posts but not actually watching right now, this feels like some sort of Rocky fight lol. One minute it swings this way, than another the other. Quite interesting to say the least.

Even if he wins they will split the delegates. Michigan is not a winner take all state.

Yep. this is extremely interesting. I highly doubt people made up their mind in two days after the two debates/town hall. this is going to give people pause and make the Ohio and Florida primaries so much more interesting.

at least the republican polls were accurate.

Yeah, it's a huge night for Bernie, though it makes you wonder if the race was at the margins the polls believed them to be this past week.

It may seem that way, but he really doesn't have a path to the nomination... So while interesting, it's ultimately useless.
 
Predictit back to 27% for Sanders win. I can't believe it climbed as high as it did. Hillary is going to win this by 5%, at least, I bet.
 
I really don't think Hillary can close this gap of 12,000 after the big jump that brought her back from 24,000. We'll see though. Looks like Bernie still has a handful of rural counties to be counted too.
 
I see why they called it for Hillary though.

If she keeps up the 60% in Wayne, she will end up ahead by 20-30,000 votes overall, or something similar. She would have to fall closer to 54% or something, and that doesn't seem too likely?

It just depends on exactly how much of central Detroit has reported.

Given this potential major upset, is that really guaranteed? What if he has a mass of this kind of similar up swing elsewhere?

Detroit still hasn't come in from the looks of it. A little over half of Wayne County still hasn't reported and judging by the state's total I'm guessing that Detroit is still not reporting.

You should have been on GAF when Iowa held it's caucus. We practically covered all of Rocky 1.
 
Even if he wins they will split the delegates. Michigan is not a winner take all state.

None of the states on the dnc side are winner take all. But we have a LOT of states to do, and the BIGGEST states with the most delegates to go. The biggest we've had so far is Texas. Clinton isn't that far ahead, at all, in pledged delegates. It's certainly not outside of reach. She's in the lead currently, yes, but her best states are soon to be behind her.
