Pledged delegate count: H - 93, B - 63

Hillary is without question or qualification the front runner in the race now.

In 3 days, a total of 1034 pledged delegates (about 25% of the final amount) will have been allocated and the race will be truly off the ground.

We will soon know whether SC represents a trend or a unique outcome. Hang tight, Hillary is leading and it is (as it awaits has been) a huge uphill battle for Bernie. But it ain't close to over, yet.

1. I suspect it means the deep red states are going to suck worse than polling has indicated up til now

We can only hope the deep blue states are just as much better than polling suggests.

2. It tells us something. Until now, Bernie had outperformed the polls

Everywhere. And nothing happened in the interim like a gaffe or a scandal to cause him to plummet.

3. The Establishment circled the wagons.

That's what happened.

4. I just wonder if the effort will have the same impact elsewhere.
