Who predicted a 13 point win for Bernie in WI?

I saw someone post it today. Right now with 99% of the vote in, Bernie is sitting at 56.3 and HRC is at 43.3. Awesome!

Math.

It is the math, always the math, like 'math' is some magical thing and yet so devoid of actual math that math is crying in the corner because math has become confused.

Hell now I am confused.

If a hunter takes two shots at a hare, and the first shot zips right past before the hare's eyes, and the second shot misses the hare just after the tail, a statistician would tell you that on average, that hare was killed.

So much for the math: the hare is still hipping around.
