Clinton Wins Nevada by +5.5. Wins Latino Vote. 2 to 1 Cash On Hand Advantage. South Carolina Looms.

http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/2/21/1488687/-Clinton-Wins-Nevada-by-5-5-Wins-Latino-Vote-2-to-1-Cash-On-Hand-Advantage-South-Carolina-Looms



It was an outstanding victory last night for Hillary Clinton in Nevada! There are several positives to be really excited about with this campaign going forward and despite what we’ve heard in the media, in many ways this campaign is very disciplined.

Let’s take a look at the good news going forward.

-Margin of victory and delegates.
[link:http://www.nytimes.com/elections/2016/primaries/nevada|
Hillary is currently up by 5.5%. This margin has been slowly building and may end up closer to 6%, with 5% of the precincts still outstanding. Hillary beat Obama by 5.7% in 2008. She currently has a 19-15 delegate split.

This was very solid victory for Hillary all the way around.

-Clinton campaign managing its money wisely.
The Sanders campaign outspent the Clinton campaign last month 35 million to 21 million. The Clinton campaign’s cash on hand is 33 million. The Sanders campaign’s cash on hand is just 14 million.

The Sanders campaign is burning through their funds much more quickly and the Clinton campaign is managing their funds much more efficiently.

Definite advantage here for the Clinton campaign smartly managing its funds and having much more cash on hand.

I think he's going to "bern out" trying to cover all that ground essentially by himself.

Hopefully he'll spend more in SC and still lose by 30%.

a few states. The ground game, if there is one, will suffer. Here's where belonging to a political party makes a difference. Oh wait, Sanders doesn't belong to one 😊.
