(12,397 posts)If your insider polling is golden you leave it up to the media to catch up. If you want to lie for benefit it gets pretty obvious that you still have not 'revealed" your insider stuff. The trouble is Sanders is a lot more honest than the pols who have been in this game so far. But he is knew to the national game so maybe his polling is not so good especially when moving into unprecedented territory instead of the low turnout benchmarks comfortably used by the media even though local primaries are a nightmare to them- when not calmed into easy predictability by hopeless lack of choice and boredom.
Look for how effective the machine politics is against a wave of enthusiasm, as decimated as that wave is by the rules.
BTW I know for a fact that upstate the large retail stores are in effect making it hard to get out to vote by oddly scheduling most of their employees from noon to nine. Walmart, target, etc.

(26,060 posts)have from 6am until noon? ONLY 6 hours. Let's look at how "hard" that is. I'm leaving for my office at 6:12am, obviously I can't vote before that. I don't get home until 6:30pm, at which point I'll vote. That only give me 2-1/2 hours to vote and yet I'm managing. Sounds to me like the large retailers are doing a great deal to HELP people vote - which also happens to be the law in NY. Certainly more time than I have.

(26,060 posts)Voters in NY - UNDER LAW - must be given the time to vote. I hope people realize that the law is on their side and cases have been fought and won under that law. I would be calling the press - local and national to make sure that happens.

After all, "what inside information does the HRC camp know that they've been saying they'll win?" is just too easy a way to point out the pointlessness of your OP.
