Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumIt's official: Wyoming is a tie.
Bernie won the popular vote handily enough, but Hillary employed MATH, and as a result they're taking 7 delegates apiece. I certainly didn't see this coming!
So Bernie came in 2 delegates behind target in Wisconsin, and now 4 behind target in Wyoming, which means he needs to exceed his targets by 6 delegates in future states. Not hard? Maybe, but keep in mind that 1) most of those targets already well exceed the 50% threshold, and 2) Hillary is bound to win at least some of these coming states. So he can't really afford a 6 delegate loss.
Now let's see about New York.

(15,951 posts)but had no idea that HRC would wind up getting 44% and carrying some of the bigger counties and split the delegates. This could be an indication that Bernie's horrible week last week is starting to hurt him nationally.
There's a Philadelphia Inquirer article hitting...and Sanders performed no better than he did in the New York Daily News.
(edited--wrong article, sorry!)

This was the original article, which is an opinion piece, but still interesting:

I'd do an OP, but I'd rather not get hidden again this week. It makes me reflux.
