if sanders gets less than 65% today in Indiania....huge LOSS

he makes little gain on Hillary and falls further behind with time running out on catching up on anything.....I'm thinking it will be another close win for hillary as minorities and voters over 45 show up big for her

Read in Al Giordano twitter account that big numbers of Indiana's Democrats are gun carrying -so there's that!? Also people don't register a Political Party?

edit: But you're right that even winning, BS already lost!

you make that selection at the poll. At the poll, you have a choice of D, R, or NPA. What's really weird though, is when I registered at BMV when I first moved here? I declared a party. Apparently we don't do that anymore at all for any of the registrations. Hell, I'm on the books at the polls as a D, as is my daughter, and hubby as an R.

You have a ton of 2nd amendment kooks who think that reasonable gun control means "you want to take my guns!!!!", they tend to be overwhelmingly R, but that could just be that I live in an overwhelmingly R county, so that's what I see here.

I can't speak to what people are seeing in other parts of the state on that.

at least 20 points short of not losing ground.

Now, the interesting thing is the ballots themselves.

On the D side, you only saw the active D candidates. On the R side, there were TWELVE names for the R side. TWELVE. Also, in talking to hubs, who talks to others who are R all the time, many of them don't like ANY of their current choices, but needed to vote down ballot. So, he did his down ballot thing, and voted a non contender for Pres. He thinks there's going to be quite a bit of that.

It's a win for Bernie. The margin? Who knows.

Really depends on how the Dems break. Ohio was open with 24% Independents and Clinton still took that one.

is fully aware he can't win. He's using every single excuse, however far-fetched, to stay in the race in order to separate his rabid supporters from their money. He'll trash Hillary, lie about having the wherewithal to force SD's to switch to him, and rant and rave about what a great (mis)leader he is as long as they're willing to donate to keep him living the high-life and not having to return to the Senate to actually work.

It's what grifters do.

even though the race was called and they'd not yet finished? She won the SE part of the state, which are considered parts of the larger metro areas of both Cincinnati and Louisville. She ALSO won both Marion and Lake counties, which are the most diverse counties in the state.
