That is a pretty close race!!! Silver_Witch Jun 2016 #7
You have an odd definition of "pretty close." n/t pnwmom Jun 2016 #8
Not really 43 to 50 percent is pretty close. Silver_Witch Jun 2016 #23
Those aren't the numbers. So what's your point? n/t pnwmom Jun 2016 #25
Ooops sorry....I stand corrected. Silver_Witch Jun 2016 #26
That's a substantial lead against someone who got votes both from Dems and pnwmom Jun 2016 #27
It is a lead for sure. It means Hillary won for sure. n/t Silver_Witch Jun 2016 #32

It is highly likely that fewer than 360,000 of the remaining ballots are Democratic Primary ballots, with Clinton holding a 400,000 plus vote lead.

It was not a landslide by any stretch of the imagination. It was a good competition. Hillary won and you should be happy. and Yet you all continue to grouse. Amazing!!

53.7% to 45.4%.

My point is that 8.3% difference is not a landslide.

A bigger margin than Bush v. Dukakis, and no one thought that one was close.

He's not going to win, but it appears by the current trend and some more votes to count, CA was much closer then we thought.
