She'll still be there fighting for every vote...and that's what matters, she won't give up on any state or any person...

She'll do very well on Tues and keep getting stronger.

Projected vote spread is 51.5 to 45.1.

This is on the basis of a single poll since mid-February. Monmouth is a good pollster, though, so I don't blame Nate for swinging the numbers this way.

I'd prefer a shutout but odds are we'll lose a couple.

This probably wouldn't have been the case except for the stupid Democratic party in our state.
They decided to let Independents vote in our primary for the first time this year.
The reasoning was to draw in more people to the party... yeah right.
Most Independents here are right wingers in actual fact.
Voting for Sanders is mostly just to fuck with the Democrats.

meant you were named Nancy and that you're an OK person. Which I'm sure you are.

Caucus states are such a nightmare it's hard to tell! Look at IA and NV, after all, so I'm not exactly bereft of all hope in Oklahoma.

We have an old-fashioned 7am to 7pm primary.
My hope would be that with the latest momentum for Hillary, the Independents will decide it won't matter anyway and won't show up.
Sanders for sure will win Cleveland county (home of OU)

It'll be fairly close, the delegates split, and I don't want Sanders in tears tomorrow night. I just want him to lose badly.

He's already on track for that; Texas and Georgia are enough to wash out any gains he makes without even noticing.

Red states don't count; only blue states because those are real Democrats
