2016 Postmortem

Oilwellian

Bernie is within 3 points of Hillary in swing-state Virginia [View all]

Our primary is March 1st and we are an open primary state. I know several Republicans in my very red county, who will be crossing over and voting for Bernie. Never thought I'd see such a thing in these parts, but he does appear to be doing well in many rural parts of America.

Virginia has been trending blue since 2008.

Or, being a small shop, they made legitimate errors that they caught after publishing. w4rma Feb 2016 #23
