Expect more of that, especially if the old codger continues to give comfort to his hoodlums while they harass local party members.

Bernie Sanders is trying to persuade Democratic Party superdelegates backing Hillary Clinton to flip their allegiance as a last-ditch bid for the nomination, but one Sanders supporter is going the other way.

Emmett Hansen II, the Democratic National Committeeman for the U.S. Virgin Islands, decided to shift his support to Clinton after a weekend briefing on her plans for U.S. territories that followed months of dissatisfaction with Sanders’ lack of concrete positions.

His reasons go right to the heart of Clinton's critique of  the Sanders campaign. Hansen said that while he’s a believer in sweeping change, he also wants to get things done.

Hansen is the first Sanders superdelegate to publicly shift his support to Clinton.

Decision Desk showing Clinton up 10% in Fayette with nearly 50% in.

She probably needs to win by more than that.

They actually had it as Sanders county.

AP called Kentucky for Clinton then took it back because they remembered all the polls weren't closed.

Going by Benchmark anyway.

How the hell could you call a state with 2% of the vote in and no exit poll? Ridiculous.

There seems to be different numbers depending on where you check.

Yeah, Fayette is 50% in but the NYT site has only early votes.

Benchmark is acting like they're going to call it for Clinton based off Decision Desk results.

They say that according to their results she beats their benchmarks everywhere.
They are just waiting to see more of Louisville before calling it.

Boy does coal country dislike Sec. Clinton. Large margins of loss for her here could hurt her in the general election in states like Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Ohio

All three of those being states she carried in the primaries.

All states before her disastrous comments on crushing the coal industry that made a grown man cry

No, Pennsylvania (and Ohio IIRC) voted after that comment.

Clinton won Clinton county!!!

Have Oregon polls closed or they do in an hour? I'm confused.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Considering the fact that the state was uncontested it's not THAT impressive a victory.
Obama got 59% in 2008 and back then Clinton spent both money and time.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Bernie up by 12 points now with 93% in.

Benchmark said he'd win by only 1. I guess they went to sh**t after they got involved with Correct The Record.

Do you have any proof of that or are you talking as usual from your backdoor orifice?
