SUPER TUESDAY 2: PRELIMINARY DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY PROJECTIONS

[Peace Patriot]

6. GO, BERNIE! Thanks, Bernbabe! And I have some questions...

Do you know what kind of election systems these are?

Primary?
If primary, closed primary? (only Dems can vote for Bernie)
If primary, open primary? (any reg'ed voter can vote for Bernie, regardless of affiliation or Indy)
If primary, limited open primary? (only Dems and undeclareds can vote for Bernie, as in CA)

All or nothing, as to delegates? Or proportional?
(Seems like I heard somewhere all Dem primaries/caucuses are proportional--true?)

Caucus?

--------------------------

Looks good in Missouri, and quite hopeful in Ohio and Illinois! Very close--so that enthusiasm and Bernie supporters' typical good ground game and campaign organization could easily tip the balance as to a win of these states, and start edging into Goldman Sachs' delegate count. And Florida, though daunting, has the the same factors--enthusiasm, organization--that could make a good showing, if not a win. I won't count any state out.

With Missouri, Ohio and Illinois this would set Bernie up well for the next, much friendlier round. And if he just does better in the others than these predictions, that will be great. We don't have much reason to trust polls, even this one, and I think that reasons for voting for Goldman Sachs are so thin that they tend to crumble when people get Bernie information and realize that there IS a good alternative!
