Sanders Is Looking to Knock Out Warren on Her Home Turf

Bernie Sanders is looking to deliver a knock-out blow to his progressive competitor Elizabeth Warren on Super Tuesday by winning the primary on her home turf of Massachusetts.

Sanders, the national front-runner, is making an aggressive push in the Bay State in the last few days before the March 3 Democratic ballot. He held a rally there Friday night and will hold another on Saturday as polls show him overtaking Warren.

Massachusetts is far from the biggest prize among the 14 states that vote on March 3, with 114 delegates at stake compared with 494 for California. But for Warren, who hasn’t come close to winning a primary, rejection by the voters who know her best could intensify pressure to drop out.

“If she loses Massachusetts, I don’t know how she continues on,” said Scott Ferson, a Democratic strategist based in the state who isn’t backing a candidate. “It’s really hard to make a case that you can win any place else if you can’t in your home state.”

Warren will return home on Tuesday to vote but has no planned campaign events in the state, and that night she’ll be in Michigan.

It’s just a matter of his much mind embarrassment she can handle. Better to quit now and not find out.
