When I vote in a couple weeks, I will be voting for Bernie, not against Hillary. So many Bernie supporters are saying that we finally have a candidate we can vote for. I am pretty sure Bernie won because people liked him, not because they were voting against Hillary. Hillary didn't lose; Bernie won.

I don't see why some Bernie supporters are so focused on Hillary Clinton instead of on our guy.

I am voting for Bernie because he is more like FDR than any candidate in the last 50+ years.

Please don't lecture me on why people are voting for Bernie. Can we just enjoy the win in our own ways? If that's ok with you.

Sounds like MSNBC has it on tv.

It must be a whomping. Sometimes it seems like no one wants to be the first to call it for Bernie. This time they're like "I'll take that fucking scoop, thankyouverymuch".

Between the first results, early voting, exit polls and various other inputs, they may decide they are confident enough to do it. They could take the chance of being wrong, but they want the scoop. Well, it used to be scoop. Now it's clicks.

They definitely take into consideration where the first results are coming from and how to extrapolate that to the rest of the state's population.
