Democratic Maine Caucus results thread (1-8pm ET)

Let's hope today they will announce results the normal way.

I was thinking today that Sanders has actually won only 3 primaries, one of which was his home state.

And Clinton has only won 1 non-Southern primary. #CaucusStatesMatter #AllStatesMatter

Besides the fact that it's the Sanders campaign talking about states that "don't matter" I don't think you can say anymore that Virginia is a Southern state.

And yes, Virginia is a Southern state.

Not anymore. It's more of a mid-Atlantic state now and in the last two elections it voted almost exactly as the nation.
Virginia has nothing in common anymore with South Carolina or Mississippi.

This is ridiculous. Virginia remains a southron state. It's primary electorate remains very southron: its Black community is clearly southern and many white Democrats, particularly outside of NoVa, are culturally southern.

Maryland and Delaware have also substantial black populations. Are they southern states too?
And the southern parts of the state (the "real Virginia") are having less and less electoral influence with each passing election.

Sanders is still a threat. I think it depends on what happens next. I think it will be awhile for another favorable state to come his way though other than Ohio or Michigan.

That's his problem. He needs to win big states like Ohio and Michigan, but he's unlikely to do so.

Don't worry, according to Tad Devine he'll win New York because he is a Brooklyn guy.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Is that some kind of fad, withholding the results for hours and then dumping them at once?

[Landslide Lyndon]

Largest applause of the night was for a candidate admitting he got arrested.

Wrong thread.

Looks like it'll be a 16-9 split, which means Sanders gained two pledged delegates on Clinton this weekend. If Sanders had put up some effort in LA, it probably could've been more.

If he does get 16, he will be 1 delegate above his 538 target for the weekend, having fallen four short in Louisiana, met his target in Nebraska, and exceeded his target by four in Kansas. Not exactly making up a lot of ground.

Hillary is running out of deep south states, though.

Jfern is quite the joker.
