1. Twenty-nine? That's a surge, right?

2. I report. Others can characterize.

4. Well, they need to get to it, pronto!! (I'm in need of my daily chuckle!)

5. No more rabbit holes for me.

My new response to baiting posts and threads:

10. Maybe a 9 point improvement

But it's hard to put much stock into just one poll. As well, 24.5 pts is a still a big gap to make up.

On Mar 1, these states, among others, go to the primary polls:
Georgia +43 (Obama +35, Delegates 60 Obama - 27 Clinton)
Massachusetts +29.5 (+15 over Obama, Delegates Clinton 55 - Obama 38)
Texas +30.7 (+3.5 over Obama, delegates Obama 99 - Clinton 94)
Virginia +34.3 (Obama +28, Delegates Obama 60 - Clinton 27)

Unlike other states on Mar 1, those states represent a lot of delegates - roughly 500.

Should Bernie take Iowa and New Hampshire, he'll need to have a good showing in the above states to keep pace. He has to close that gap over the next 60 days.

6. I wonder if "Stayin' Alive" would be another appropriate Bee-Gees tune.

7. It is difficult to credit a surge when changes are well within the MoE.

8. I report. I am reluctant to characterize.

I never saw the Bay State as a Sanders state. Hillary won it in 08 despite Ted Kennedy endorsing Barack Obama.

9. I will be glad when the voting starts so we can stop arguing about it.

and just decide which side can do the victory dance.

11. Very Nice Numbers

Another poll showing Hillary is winning this thing. Despite what others would have us believe.

12. A better Bee Gees video for Hillary is Tragedy! Nt

16. Ha!! :-D

13. Not good for Bernie as this is a state that I believe knows Bernie pretty well

and is well educated. But Hillary won MA in 2008 over Barack Obama who had the backing of the Kennedy's, so she has a lot of supporters in MA apparently. If he was to win the nomination I would think that MA would be a state that Bernie should be winning or needs to win. McCarthy won it in 1968 and McGovern in 1972 in the primary race.
