Benchmark Politics thinks Hillary could win Oregon as well.

Benchmark Politics? @benchmarkpol

Why we think Clinton actually has a shot in OR: It is also closed... less friendly Demographically, but Mail-Ins could be HUGE.

So far Benchmark Politics has been wrong. Jude the Obscure May 2016 #2
Did Sanders win KY?? DCBob May 2016 #5
Wait a few days, and you'll get your answer. Jude the Obscure May 2016 #8
Won't make any difference. DCBob May 2016 #14
Kentucky was not a tie--the check mark is next to Clinton, not Sanders. MADem May 2016 #9

If she wins, of course she will have cheated. Blaukraut May 2016 #3
And when she doesnt, we'll hear about how Oregon is a meaningless podunk full of white people Warren DeMontague May 2016 #4

The early reports seemed to back up that poll putting her ahead. CrowCityDem May 2016 #6
Yeah. I'm feeling pretty good about Oregon. DCBob May 2016 #11
I just heard them saying that on TV. MADem May 2016 #19
If that happens it would be a stake in the heart of the zombie campaign. nt BootinUp May 2016 #12
I think she'll win there too KingFlorez May 2016 #13
I would be shocked if Clinton won Oregon and it would be the best shock of my life. DemocratSinceBirth May 2016 #15
Yeah.. I felt that way a couple of weeks ago.. DCBob May 2016 #16
she will probably win it DLCWIdem May 2016 #18
Yes.. that is good clue they are worried. DCBob May 2016 #20
Well, you might very well be right. He does do internal polling, so that could be a harbinger of MADem May 2016 #21

tonight.

Kentucky tie, no-one won in terms of delegates.

Oregon, I predict a 79% win for Bernie.

She's not worried about delegates--she's leading him on that score decisively.

He's got to beat her--not come in just behind her. And he's got to beat her 70/30....and that's just not happening.

He's toast. He's not going to find 30% more votes hidden anywhere, and that is what he needs for it to matter.

It's been called for Clinton.

Get over it. Move on.

I really thought Sanders had the advantage in OR. The demographics tend to favor him, and isn't there a weed question on the ballot?
