No comments are nasty. There are some realistic assessments of both Hillary's and Bernie's chances on Super Tuesday.

3. There are 2 things

I am curious about. As a comment at the link suggested, low over all voter turnout is a concern.

The other is all the disgusting SC bashing. Including the who cares if she won, It's not like SC is going to vote for her in the GE. Do they think that if Sanders won by the same margins that SC voters will vote for him in the GE? Come on now.

4. Yes, low voter turnout

IS a concern. But it seems that Bernie has not managed to encourage more voters to come out, while enthusiasm for Hillary actually seems to have increased from 2008.

I find the bashing of SC and its voters to be very telling, even apart from the sour grapes. Those who do so seem to have very narrow agendas and no long-term solutions to the very real problems facing this country and the world. We need a President for us all, not simply for those elite few with a LW purist mindset that is every bit as troubling as that of RW purist zealots.

JMO.
