2. We're gonna need more rope!

(There are more states to go.)

Alerter: It's a boxing term, nobody's being called a dope.

3. Bernie is setting this thing up just the way he planned it. nt

4. You joke ... but there may be some truth to that as well.

And isn't that just sad?

Happy Friday, LexVegas!

5. Bernie and his followers neglect a fact

Indiana has a huge African American population, and particularly the northwestern part. IN also has a very large building trades unions presence, and they stand with HRC. I'll still call it a win for her by 6%.

9. I wouldn't call 9% "huge." And the state is 84% white.

Indiana is a state where Sanders should win or come close to winning. If he loses by double digits, it's likely an indication that some of his support has dried up.

6. I don't trust the Indiana Polls

Auto-dialers are outlawed, there is no party registration, and it's an open primary. Since Indys going for Bernie being a huge factor in this contest, it's very difficult to determine what the electorate is going to look like.

7. That's true.

There's no way of knowing if Indy's are going to turn out to support Bernie even though the race has all but been called, or if they will go vote either to support or stop Trump. I suspect the latter might be the case, which would be a huge hit for Bernie.

10. Party registraton doesn't matter when doing political polls.

Because the calls are not made to specific people. It is random. They do ask questions related to how the person polled self identifies related to party affiliation. They plug those numbers in that fits the ratio for the universe they are polling. Basically, if they need 120 Republicans, 110 Democrats, and 70 unaffiliated they gather that much data.

8. This contest may be a good gauge on the state of party unity. nt

12. Excellent insight

Never thought of it that way!

[JaneyVee]

11. K&R!

[Adrahil]

13. It really surprises me!

I have felt that the state would go for Bernie. But I admit that I have not considered the effect of Gary and Chicagoland. I still think he might win the state.

14. Good to hear! nt

[Scurrilous]

15. Boink!
