Commondreams.org: Clinton Machine on the Ropes as Sanders Takes Momentum to NY

http://www.commondreams.org/news/2016/04/06/clinton-machine-ropes-sanders-takes-momentum-ny

Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton is on her heels having now lost seven of the past eight presidential nominating contests, thrusting the upcoming primary in New York front and center.

"This is the war to settle the score," declared Van Jones, CNN correspondent and former green jobs adviser to President Barack Obama, on Democracy Now! Wednesday. "New York City is the capital of the world and two titanic forces in the Democratic Party are clashing on the world stage in New York City."

A Brooklyn native, Sen. Bernie Sanders is no stranger to New York and after securing yet another double-digit win in Wisconsin on Tuesday, he has set his sights on a real showdown in the Empire State. Jones cautioned against "assuming" a Clinton win there, which he pointed out is her "third declared home state" after Arkansas and Illinois.

Bernie's closed the gap in NY. Her internal polls showed it earlier, it's why she went so negative so quickly.

I'm glad Sanders is responding to her attacks by turning the heat up on her.
