6. That IS good news for Sanders

Most people who say Sanders won't win in a landslide in California point out that it's a closed primary. But it's not, it's a semi-closed primary. Those 24% will be able to vote this time. Big difference compared to a real closed primary.

Frankly, I don't think the results will be that different from an open primary. It looks like the Republican side will be hotly contested too, so there wouldn't be a significant amount of Repub to Democrat crossover, or vice versa.

And you can register on-line until 15 days before the election.
