Let's come up with some fun NY facts in advance of the primary. [View all]

1. Bernie left New York--for good- in 1968. The next year the Mets won the World Series. Coincidence?

2. Bernie Sanders left New York one year before Jay-Z was born and 13 years before Alicia Keys was born.




3. Taxes on Wall Street are 18-20% of New York's state budget.

4. No one who lives in Brooklyn has an accent like Bernie Sanders. No one. Except Marty Markowitz.

5. New York's Governor and New York City's mayor are supporting Clinton.

6. Every single member of New York's Democratic Congressional delegation--black, white, male, female, Senate, House, has endorsed Clinton.

7. Hillary Clinton has lived in New York 15 years longer than Bernie Sanders has been a Democrat.

8. Hillary Clinton has the support of New York's mega-union, SEIU Local 1199, and many others.
