With less than 1% of the vote remaining to be reported, popular vote:

[George II]

Biden: 255,662
Sanders: 105,070

Biden won by more than 150,000 votes!

Nationally now Biden leads Sanders by 65,000 votes.

2. Cue "Popular vote doesn't matter, it's all about delegates" from one corner nt

[musicblind]

14. Well, to be fair, it is all about the delegates.

But, I get your point. Only one candidate's supporters have been hypocritical in that regard.

(I should correct myself and say "some" of his supporters. Not all.)

I wasn't sure how many people here would get that or what character it came from.

8. This is my first posting!

Just can't contain myself! I haven't been able to sleep for the last few weeks as Bernie surged. I know we have a long ways to go, but finally I'm seeing Joe come through and Hope Springs Eternal. Tonight I will sleep well. Go Joe Go!!

10. Voting blue no matter who.

[musicblind]

15. I agree.

I think it's probably going to be Sanders, but I agree. Blue no matter who.

[Demsrule86]

20. I do not think it will be Sanders. I believe many Democrats are looking for an alternative to

Sanders. Some were waiting to send their votes in until after Carolina...and Sanders is a bad nominee...the only reason he is ahead is the two super white early states that have a tiny populations went first...and two of them were un-Democratic caucuses. Had Carolina gone first, it would be a different primary...this system allowed a weak candidate to assume the lead...a small lead at that and run like he had momentum which he doesn't...so Biden survives super Tuesday and wins some states...then he moves into more favorable states...and at the convention...Sanders will not have the delegates and will try to get the supers to switch to him which won't happen. Biden will be the nominee and the next President. And most importantly, we will be rid of Trump and can begin to fix what he has broken. Biden is best equipped for the coming challanges.

18. Me too...

12. Blue no Matter Who.

Bernie will take the large states of California and Texas. Book it. And it's going to be more than 150K votes.

13. Foregone conclusion, really

SC is deeply conservative to the point that some of those folks far out of town are ready to fire on Ft. Sumter again. They used to have a "United Klans of America Welcome You" sign at the NC border on highway 301, don't know if it's still there.

Oh, I'm glad Biden finally won one. We're going to need a technocrat to be able to get a good start on undoing all the damage that has been done over the last 4 years and he's up to the job.

19. Oh, but southern states don't count
