(15,666 posts)if for nothing other than its symbolism. Now will MA also not count, do you think?
About OK, there was mention of a huge influx of first-time voters which likely was a factor in the polls getting it wrong because Clinton was definitely favored among those who were LT Dems. From my calling there, I also know that even those Dems who favored Bernie stated that they would support Hillary in the GE.
Those first-time voters though - how many were really Dems trying to help Bernie as opposed to those registering merely to defeat Hillary - is something that we likely won't know until the GE.
As far as MN & CO, caucuses are always difficult to predict. I hoped for a better Hillary outcome in both, but it was not to be. I believe that both will definitely be in the Dem column for the GE though. Bernie deserves kudos for his wins tonight.
A great link for an overview of last night (excluding American Samoa which isn't reflected there) is the NYT coverage. http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results
IMO, that NYT coverage was better than anything on TV. Best of all, one didn't have to watch/hear Drumpf preening and posturing like the bully that he so clearly is. What a total a**h*** he is!
