Democratic Super Tuesday results thread (first polls close at 7pm ET)

Exit poll toplines if my math is right:

OK:
Sanders 51%
Clinton 47%

MA:
Sanders 52%
Clinton 46%

Wow, I was not expecting him to win Massachusetts.

Yeah, Clinton is essentially 20,000 ahead in MA already. Why isn't this being called?

A lot of places haven't come in yet. This could still be another Iowa.

Anyway, what surprises me is that Holyoke is basically tied between Clinton and Sanders (with Clinton having a slight edge). I would have expected that to be a bigger Clinton win. Meanwhile, Berkshire County seems a lot more divided than I'd expect; I'd expect it to go heavily for Sanders.

Also, it looks like that poll putting Sanders ahead in Worcester County might have been correct. This map isn't looking anything like what I expected.

We need to dispel with this fiction that the media doesn't know what they're doing by not calling MA. They know exactly what they're doing. Things look good for Clinton, and I think she'll most likely win but the map isn't like anything I've ever seen, so I can see why they're being careful here.

And they're doing something a little more scientific than "George, have you seen this map before? Who won that time?"

Well yeah, but my point is the demographics of this race aren't like any previous race, which makes it hard to call when it's relatively close.
