5 of the next 6 states are fully closed primaries worth 607 pledged delegates

To date delegates awarded via fully closed primaries:

Clinton - 224 (63.5%)
Sanders - 129 (36.5%)

Just some food for thought.

1. Alaska was closed and Bernie won it by 63 points

2. Caucus not primary in Alaska n/t

11. lots of poorer voters can't take a half day off to have their vote count.

3. They'll be closer than that.

But I still see the biggest three going for Clinton by double digits. Between 65 and 85 net delegates between those three. Lead could very well be over 300 pledged delegates by then.

4. That would be 385-222, and total delegate lead of 379 (with 1000 to go)

5. Polling in those states looks good for Clinton as well. Dem-only polls have been accurate so far.

Brace for a momentum swing.

9. I know. . . . too bad the GE isn't Dems only.

Bernie got 72% of independents and usually gets 20-30% of the Republican vote in Vermont. Hillary will never do that.
And Bernie beats all of the GOP candidates by double digits whereas Hillary only beats Trump in the head to head polls, and by much less than Bernie.
The GE is the important one. That's why I have some questions about closed primaries, they won't give you the best candidate for the GE.

6. Hillary

Seems to have the "momentum" going into the next string of primaries. I expect she wins by 10-17 points in NY effectively putting Sanders away.

12. Oh, that's rich!

I hope you don't get too disappointed when Bernie wins.

7. These are numbers after the fact,

it correlates to used food.

[Godhumor]

13. So, past performance is no predictor for future success? Great

Glad to have you on the whole "Mathematically, there is no such thing as momentum" train.

8. Means I have to start saying little prayers.

I agree with you, this is a tough time. I hope the tide has changed enough to pull him through. But in my heart of hearts, I feel very calm about this and that is a good sign.

10. Thanks for this.

Interesting.

14. This will be fun to watch
