... I like them and I hate them at the same time. Part of me wants to get excited about an initial strong showing from Hillary, but I know that things can turn around in the blink of an eye depending on which counties happen to be reporting data faster than other counties.

I'm going to try and not get my hopes up... well, not too much anyway.

I have to go to bed soon, it's nearly midnight here, and I remember waking up the morning after Michigan.

Still, it's promising. Apparently a couple of counties have come through for Hillary that were supposed to be for Bernie. Who knows? It'll all be over by the time I wake up tomorrow.

Decision Desk has Hillary 51 Bernie 45 and they've got more counties reporting than NYT:

It will flip flop a while yet I suspect.
