Since the primary season began, Sanders has won more than nine million votes and finished ahead of Clinton in eighteen states. (Clinton has won more than twelve million votes and won twenty-three states.) Sanders continues to attract large crowdson Thursday he will be campaigning in West Virginiaand he seems likely to win more primaries in the coming weeks, including in West Virginia, on May 10th, and Oregon, on May 17th. If he were to end his campaign now, many of his supporters would be furious, and even some Democrats who arent necessarily backing him would be disappointed. According to new poll from NBC News/Survey Monkey, fifty-seven per cent of Democrats and Democratic-leaners want Sanders to campaign until the Convention, and just sixteen per cent think he should drop out now. Eighty-nine per cent of Sanderss supporters said they wanted him to keep going until July. More surprisingly, perhaps, twenty-eight per cent of Clintons supporters agreed.

Nice transparency page.
You should consider thanking Skinner for changing the rules so that people like you can post even with 5 or more hides. The rule certainly benefits you.
