53 delegates? i have been worried about 53 delegates? i am watching something else tonight

i had no idea it was so few delegates, and even if bernie sustains a fairly big loss, he could still walk out with around 20 delegates.

jeez, what else is on tonight?

i am done with this...blood pressure coming back down.....

This is Bernie's Waterloo moment. It's all over after tonight. The coronation begins.

NH got people's attention because Sanders went from trailing by double digits to leading by double digits.

Don't worry there will be many more delegates for Bernie to lose Tuesday night.

familiarize yourself with the Sanders phone bank system, it is VERY easy! This way you can make calls tomorrow to the super Tuesday states.

Called SC this morning and Georgia this afternoon, which has 116 delegates. Thought I would call Texas tonight.

If you have Netflix and do not mind subtitles, then I would try the series "Rita"

If Hillary wins SC by a large margin, then it positions her to do very well on Tuesday. She's already ahead in most of those states. In the few states where she isn't, a blowout in SC may tip some of them to her side. For example MA, where the latest poll favors her, although Sanders is ahead by 0.6%.
