... and she's still doing better than Bernie!

She's already in GE mode! Bernie is in her rearview mirror and shrinking fast!

I'm always reminded of Jurassic Park when the T Rex is closing in on the jeep and the "larger than they appear" is on screen.

It's just not what you want to see when a T Rex is catching up.

Fortunately, Bernie was no T Rex.

Believers gonna believe.

Prior to his Super Tuesday III trouncing (and other assorted losses), Sanders had to take Indiana by +16 to stay competitive. That's gotta be somewhere in the mid-twenties by now.

Even a Michigan-level miscall doesn't get him that at this point.

of Clinton winning Indiana, though. It extends her Super Tuesday III wins, erodes a little more of the Sanders momentum meme, and adds to her delegate lead.

She'll want the latter in Oregon, I'm thinking, although it won't be the blowout that Washington was by any means.

With as contentious as this Primary season has been, I'd love to see her walk into the Convention with a very strong, obvious, and unassailable lead.

You ask for your party of choice ballot when you vote. But, you did have to register by April 4 to participate.

Voters can choose which ballot they want if they are registered. It should be close, but I think the polls might be understating AA turnout. They made up 14% of the vote in 2008 and were one of the prime reasons President Obama came within a point of winning while winning only 39% of the white vote.

In 2008, Hillary won Indiana 646,253 to 632,061.

If polling data holds out it should be about Clinton: 45 delegates - Sanders: 38.
