4. I don't think it was that high, but at least the high single digits. Now about 49 to 44 for Clinton

We're now seeing the oft-mentioned momentum.

13. What do you mean by "over"?

If your prediction is that Clinton will come out of Super Tuesday with a big lead in pledged delegates, I agree.

If your prediction is that Sanders will thereupon suspend his campaign and that progressives on DU will stop explaining why they prefer him to Clinton, then I disagree.

Here's my prediction: Contention will continue. As a consequence, during the month of March, there will be threads in the Clinton Group complaining about hides. Clinton supporters will be outraged that, even in their protected group, they can't use terms like "unhinged" to describe DUers who (despite Super Tuesday) still disagree with them.

6. I really think Scalia's death pushed a lot of us off the fence.

I had been undecided up until last week. I like both candidates and could vote for either one. But once Scalia died and I realized how many justices the next President most likely will appoint it was done. We can't afford to lose in November.

Glad to see Secretary Clinton doing so well. I will be voting for her here in Oklahoma today (early voting).

12. I wish I had done early voting! I think we may have snow on election day!

And I agree, Scalia's passing was a reminder what is at stake. Plus ACA repeal would be horrible for many people I know!
