If Hillary's supporters are like me. I can't see them passing up an opportunity to vote for her

[LuvLoogie]

tomorrow. Her older supporters understand her history; the hurdles and obstacles; the derision; the daggers; her perseverance through it all. And her younger supporters are witness to the continuation of the kitchen sink opposition

After all she has gone through--all the work; all the outreach; all the challenges; events; meetings and regimens--the very least we can do is get up tomorrow and vote. I am in Illinois, and I envy all of you who have the opportunity to put Hillary over the top tomorrow. The AP can't take that milestone. She will cross that 2026 threshold because she worked, and the voters were impressed.

1. It should be the same ...

... for Bernie supporters - not wanting to pass up a chance to vote for him.

[LuvLoogie]

2. Bernie needs to find some joy in these closing days and spread it to his supporters.

And I think that the best way to grow Hillary's coalition over the next months is to be joyful ourselves. Committed and serious, but joyful.

[NanceGreggs]

3. "Committed and serious ...

... but joyful."


That's a great sentiment.

[Aerows]

4. That 2026 threshold? n/t

[LuvLoogie]

5. The majority of the pledged delegates allocated by the primary voting process...

is 2026 pledged delegates out of the 4051 allocated in the primaries. That is the direct corollary to the voters' support of a candidate. The supers are a measure of a candidates support within the party.

I never mixed the two when I did my summaries of the primary voting and state of the race.

6. I thought you were saying

2026 as in the year (or made a typo). It was meant to be a gentle jest, since I'm prone to making tpyos myself, but now I get what you were saying.

[LuvLoogie]

7. Ha! DU has a pretty good spell check. Thankfully.

[Aerows]

9. I had an article out on a website for my company

It sat out there a whole day with the word "count" lacking an O.

I wondered why people were smirking at me all day!

[LuvLoogie]

14. Whoops!

[joshcryer]

8. Yep. My state went for Sanders, it's not on me.

These Sanders "supporters" support is a mile wide and an inch deep.

[Beacool]

10. I'm voting tomorrow.

Then I'm meeting with some friends at a bar to watch the results in my state. I don't think that we'll wait for CA, it'll be too late for us.

[LuvLoogie]

15. I will probably stay until it's clear she'll close out winning

the popular vote and pledged delegates overall.

[Beacool]

20. CA closes too late, 11 PM on the East Coast, to hang out at a bar on a Tuesday night.

Most folks have to work tomorrow. I'm a night owl and probably will watch the results at home until 1 or 2 AM to see the results of some of the other states.

11. Voters will turn out because there are other important races on the ballot

only 'fans' won't show up

[Exilednight]

12. the only problem is that she only has older supporters. the one

age demographic she has consistently won is people over 65.

[LuvLoogie]

16. It does not seem to be a problem so far.

[Exilednight]

19. in 2008 and 2012, what percentage of voters were under 30, and

What percentage were over 65?

[coco77]

13. Why is it.

because she is a woman?

[LuvLoogie]

18. Toward what are raising your question?

You will have to give some context.

[auntpurl]

17. I hope you're right!

I did not like that APA announcement; it hurts Hillary more than it hurts Bernie re: voter turnout, and anyone who thinks Hillary somehow strong-armed the media and arranged this is crazy.

[pdsimdars]

21. I don't know. She has all the delegates she needs. That means it's merely academic to vote for her

Best to get some wine or champagne and celebrate, don't waste your time voting.

[NurseJackie]

22. When I voted for Hillary, I s-l-o-w-l-y filled-in the bubble on the ballot ...

... because I wanted to savor every moment (and I was grinning the whole time, knowing that I'd be able to vote for Hillary TWICE!)

[LuvLoogie]

23. Yep...

Now that's voting.
