Recall how far down he was in one of the earliest polls in WI. 25-28 points? To win by 10 is amazing. And it should be causing team Hillarian to start chugging Kaopectate.

being spread, but perhaps, much like brave people with a nak for dividing us and at war with each other over our melanin differences while reveling in the attention that it garners. Having a mixed melanin balance it irks me when such division is sown purposely so that one is on ignore.

Perhaps I can and should add this one to my list of so far only ten on ignore and still get all the "misspeaks" as things that are "unintentionally" false are euphemistically referred to these days. One more misinformation post or right now is what I am debating now, I may join you after that decision. A decision I am making now.

One question however, does the NYT count the purchased super delegates as do the networks?
I just want to know how many pledged delegates he's getting from this.

This was an open primary. He pulls Independents; she doesn't.

But she is pulling slightly more in Milwaukee. Which is about 45% white and 40% AA, 17% Latino per 2010 census stats.

He is over 100% over pledged tonight.

He got his 29+, and cleanly cuts Lint's lead to under 200 delegates.

i.e. is a lot of the vote around Madison still out, do they think the margin could grow some more?

Edit: The Young Turks just said Milwaukee is 100% in and it is a relatively strong area for Hillary. So hopefully the margin will continue to grow for Bernie as the rest of the state comes in.

Democrats really suck at anything outside the GE. Voter ID and the literal hours and hours it takes to cast a single vote in the city cause such disenfranchisment that it makes it nearly impossible to change that.

Also I would add given the numbers in Milwaukee county it suggests he did much better with blacks then he as in the past.

The 2010 census says 45% white, 40% black, 17% Latino.

Excellent turnout in Wisconsin!
