If a poll said that last week, it was an incorrect poll. Just like the Michigan ones.

...I went to my local Bernie office to make calls and canvass. We were told that Bernie was down by over 25% and that winning Illinois would be very hard.

I am thrilled with what we accomplished in Illinois. My conservative county split 61/39 for Bernie. I was shocked.

However when there are two competitors it's a loss.

remember Al Gore? He LOST his home state of Tennessee 51 to 48% in the 2000 election. Had he carried his HOME state Florida would not have mattered and the world would be a better place indeed.
