Thanks for the link.

NY will be crucial. It's my opinion that if he does any worse than a tenth of a percent better than she, the Hillary campaign will be screaming VICTORY!!!! as if they were the Indians at the Battle of the Little Big Horn, and Bernie is General Custer and all his unfortunate troops.

But NY is still 10 days away, well 9 to be precise, since it's after midnight there. There's no advance voting in NY. Advantage Bernie. It's a closed primary, which is supposed to be Advantage Hillary, but the actual number/percentage of independent voters in NY simply isn't that huge. True, some New Yorkers will have very fond memories of her as Senator, which will be to her advantage. But loads of others do see her as a carpetbagger, which hurts her. Plus, Bernie is originally a New Yorker, and you can tell as soon as he opens his mouth, and that's (I suspect) a huge advantage.

Then, there's the wild flailing about of the Clinton campaign, doing everything possible to smear Sanders. Why would they be so desperate? Is it possible they have internal polling that shows him already tied with him, or so close that it's the same thing? And they're not stupid, at least I hope the ones running the campaign aren't. They would know that ever since Bernie started his straight run of seven wins, he only gains in the final days and hours before voting.
