3 to 1 in SC! (Hillary Clinton Group)

That is not just a win. It is a blowout! Never mind the demographics. She won 3 to 1! That sort of ratio is likely to be repeated in at least three more states on Tuesday.

It's not just momentum. It's a candidate clearly leading the pack. We should all be cheering loudly, I believe.

Again, a 3 to 1 ratio. That ratio will improve dramatically following Super Tuesday.

All other arguments fade when you look at the actual numbers, even so far. On Wednesday of next week, the path to Hillary's nomination is going to be crystal clear, even if Sanders sticks around for a while longer.

Sanders will withdraw from the race by April 1, I'm pretty sure. There's work for him to do in the Senate. Why would he fight a battle he is certain to lose?

Like the air just went out, or the wheels just came off.

The Big Mo just went to Hillary, and it is only going to get better!

It bodes well for Tuesday's races, for sure.

I'm a little morose about the state of DU today, and your call to celebrate lifted my mood!

Many thanks!

I know better than to read GDP after one of these things.

So do we keep celebrating until, and then through, Super Tuesday, or do we pace ourselves? It looks like it's going to be a mighty fine week.

Minnesota. We will probably start getting totals from precincts about 8 PM or so, but won't have the complete count until quite a bit later. Caucus voting starts at 7 PM and may be slowed down if there is huge turnout.

By Wednesday morning, though, we'll know a rough delegate count for the national convention.

I'm looking forward to Wednesday morning. Yes, I am.

Looking great in TN for Hillary!

I hope you'll let us know how your caucus goes. The process is fascinating.

I turn in early, so I won't be posting right after the caucus. By morning, I'll have statewide results, so I'll be able to relate them to the vote in my precinct.

Let's hope this keeps up all the way to the White House. I believe that the woman who stood up to the Benghazi kangaroo court can stand up to Trump in the coming months.

He is just a hollow shell of a candidate, though, so there's not much nourishment there.

I'm still not convinced that he'll end up as the candidate, though. He's just one horrible scandal from disappearing from the race.
