issue will help Sanders up there.

Demographics in upstate NY are fairly old, young people don't flock to places like Buffalo and Syracuse and Albany.

They know Hillary up there, they don't know Sanders.

Sanders needs to win overwhelmingly in upstate to have any chance. If he breaks even in upstate he loses by 10-15%. If he loses upstate by 10% he loses the state by 25%.
