Democratic Ides of March Tuesday results thread (first polls close at 7pm ET)

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

teh map I guess:

Well, at least the regional candidate talk can finally be put to rest.

You realize the "she's a woman" vote put her on top in at least five of those six top states

lel

What an extremely dismissive way to treat voters who are concerned about the very real structural disadvantages women face in the public sphere. Maybe being a woman actually is a merit, hmm?

Is that why you're always getting wild about any female candidate, regardless of party and ideology?

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

NYT has the final numbers. Hillary eeked out Missouri.

[Gass3268]

Really need Sanders to still be competitive by the time we get to Wisconsin. We have a very important Supreme Court race that night and we need turnout to be up on the Democratic side.

[RJEvans]

damn, hillary has some of that comeback magic! stunning night

She's done thiis many times hasn't she. In '08 she won NH after losing IA. In '08 she had an excellent April and May after a thrashing in February. Now, she came back with SC after a disappointing showing in IA and NH and now a sweep after losing MI. Put kudos to her campaign. After losing MI, the gaffes this last week, and getting outspent by Bernie by millions, she wins all five races.

Need that vote more for Barrett in Milwaukee. Should win anyways because Bob Donovan is a mini-Trump piece of trash.

As long as he reigns in the Berniebots he can knock himself off campaigning.

Hopefully Larson as well.

[Dr. Arch]

Bradley is a failure and transparently corrupt Justice. I don't see her winning, and if she does, this state is doomed locally anyways.

I'm for Abele. Larson is more a puppet of the county board which is corrupt as hell. Supports rebuilding that damn Estabrook dam. Would be cheaper and better for the river to remove it, majority seems to be for removal too. Also voted for years to defer park maintenance and is using it against Abele (they do everything to spite him and not much else). Then Larson was also removed from leadership in the Senate for being incompetent. Abele has also done a lot more for the county then Larson could ever hope for, plus Larson will bankrupt the county and be a county board rubber stamp.

To go way way back to the beginning of the thread, David Shuster was likely full of crap on those Illinois exits of Hispanic voters. It was 49-49. I don't see how things could have shifted that dramatically from the early exits.

Arizona up next as well as two small caucuses. Last poll there by an albeit unknown pollster:

I think it's important to have more women in politics, but I disagree with your premise. Liking Susana Martinez and Hillary Clinton hardly qualifies as "getting wild about any female candidate."

Well done by Secretary Clinton.

In either case, I'd advise anybody with a low tolerance for sh-tposting to take some time off Atlas. Landslide Lyndon and jfern will be even more intolerable than usual come morning.

I've put those idiots on ignore, I'll likely to put a couple more who are left. Pathetic people.

But well done Clinton either ways!

[Holmes]

This was a fun night.

[IceSpear]

So did the Decision Desk call MO for Hillary, retract it, call it for Bernie, retract it, then call it for Hillary again? lol

[ElectionsGuy]

North Carolina is completely done:

Clinton: 616,225 (54.6%)
Sanders: 460,263 (40.8%)

What a relative under performance for Clinton, and about on par with her margin in Ohio!

I don't recall seeing an initial call for Hillary, but they definitely called it for Bernie at some point.

Wow I never would of guessed that would happen....but Clinton has a 22 delegate gain on Sanders in NC which Is way smaller then I thought it would be.

I get that people don't like Abele, but having met both of them, and knowing staffers on both campaigns, I would vote for Abele. Larson is an abhorent person. Just a total piece of garbage.

Also, Larson totally cost the Dems the state senate by being easily the most incompetent leader the caucus has had in decades. Voting for him is voting for Milwaukee County to be demolished under GOP attacks and Dem infighting/incompetence. I say this as a Madison Liberal.

Abele is just too closely tied to the Governor and the State Legislature for me. I really don't want him to run for Governor in 2018 and this would be the best way to stop him.

Nate Cohn posted this map of the South (Clinton vs. Sanders):



He notes that OK, NC, and FL all have party registration, and so the "Dixiecrats" (or whatever you want to call them) are unable to crossover and vote in the Republican primary.

Not necessarily a perfect correlation there: Louisiana has party registration, too, and the biggest D registration advantage out of all of those states to boot. Furthermore, look at the areas surrounding western NC (North GA, East TN, SW VA, etc) where there isn't party registration - Sanders came within single digits in about 20 counties in North GA and did quite well in East TN and VA, too.

Adam Griffin, that's a fantastic signature.

Thats basicly Obama's margin from 2008.

Actually less than that since they already called 44 delegates for Bernie. Hillary has 59, with 4 uncalled.
