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

[Fusionmunster]

I'm heading to vote with my whole family at 2:00 pm.

I'm honest to goodness torn between Clinton and Sanders. I had been an ardent Clinton supporter because I think she has the gravitas and fortitude to win in the general. However, in recent weeks, I've discovered how much I really like Sanders' policies.

Then again, Sanders said in an interview, that he ran as a Democrat for media coverage. I'm a Democrat through and through. I want to vote for one.

Then again, I really did not like Clinton's answer on the death penalty at the last town hall and the money from big corporations does make me wonder.

However, I do think her college plan is much more realistic than Sanders. Sanders likely won't get any of the things he is promising done.

Also, Hillary is a little younger, and that makes a full 8 years more likely and I admire that she had a solid stance on healthcare as far back as the 90's.

But, if we look at someone's past. Sanders was a civil rights protester and Clinton was a Goldwater girl in her teens.

This is the first time I have ever been in the so-called "undecided" category. Even in a primary, I've always known who I wanted. I voted for Clinton last time in the primaries after attending stump speeches from both. But now, I don't know.

Hmm... this was a long and pointless stream of consciousness rant. Sorry about that!

Not to push you one way or the other, but Hillary was a Goldwater girl when she was 16 years old. A more fair comparison would be to compare both of their activism during their time in College.

Congratulations Sanders, you have successfully divided the party. Well done.

Just like how Obama successfully divided the party?

You mean how Hillary divided the party. And yes, she very much did. However she worked her ass off in order to unite it again, something im worried Sanders wont do.

[Fusionmunster]

I would note that "not satisfied" does not mean "would not vote for."

Just PUMA flashbacks is all.

[Fusionmunster]

I wasnt trying to start an argument. Its just very annoying democrats went from being unified to being in a position where the base might not even vote come November. This campaign was supposed to be bloodless, but now that Sanders thinks he has a chance of winning, he's upping his attacks and Hillary is more than happy to fire back. We were already going to have a hard enough time holding the white house as it is, a long drawn out primary fight will not help us.

[Fusionmunster]

Hispanics allegedly went huge for Sanders in IL. Take that with a mountain of salt though.

Yeah, Shadow said. But the guy who said it on twitter wont back it up.

[Fusionmunster]

North Carolina almost as Anti-Trade as IL/MO? WOW!!

Again, I think if you asked that question in any state you'd get similar results.

[Fusionmunster]

This works for either candidate honestly.

Just a random observation but Kasichs color on NYTs is a lovely shade of teal.

I assume Florida gets called at 8.

I assume Florida gets called at 8.

Both sides

Yep, there we go.

[Fusionmunster]

ILLINOIS: SANDERS 51% CLINTON 49%

Its gonna be squeaker.

[Fusionmunster]

Florida exit poll:
whites: Clinton +7
blacks: Clinton +56
Latinos: Clinton +38

Illinois exit poll:
whites: Sanders +20
blacks: Clinton +39
Latinos: Sanders +7

Missouri exit poll:
whites: Sanders +15
blacks: Clinton +39

That David Shuster was full of sh%t.

[Fusionmunster]

Hillary ahead early in Missouri as well 65% to 30%.  This is a slaughter.

Its like less than 100 votes though.

[Fusionmunster]

So now Sanders is within 54 votes of CLinton in MO. Someone care to explain ? I know MO isn't your typical Southern state, but I still expected it to split 2 to 1 for Clinton.

St. Louis and Kansas City are out so not sure yet.

[Fusionmunster]

69% of the vote in Cook County, Clinton is only up by 8%.

Thats where most of the dem vote is though.

[Fusionmunster]

Decision Desk called MO for Sanders. In other news, Clinton looks like she might win MO.

AP called MO for Hillary in 2008 with St. Louis still out. Descision Desk should wait.

[Fusionmunster]

There are some very large white countys still out in in Illinois so i think Sanders wins there.

Or not...

[Fusionmunster]

Yep, Clinton Sweep.

[Fusionmunster]

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!

Thats basicly Obama's margin from 2008.
