This is almost outside the margin of error. Tuesday's gonna be a fun night.

I like those trends in IL, OH and MO ...

From what I'm reading, Illinois is an open primary and Sanders leads 69-18 (51%!) amongst self-identified Independents. From what I've read, Illinois is an open primary state, which could bode well for Sanders if there is high turnout.

So what I'm understanding is that Sanders does better in states where voters who usually don't support the Democratic Nominee in the GE get to vote in the primary? Amazing

Will Cook County save Hillary or will it look like the 2010 Senate race?

Why is IL closer than OH? In several polls this seems to be the case. Maybe Rahm effect?

I would have said not a chance a few days ago, but now it looks somewhat likely.

I'm going to bet that Cook County and the Collar counties will win this for Clinton. One thing that has been underestimated about the northern states is that the more conservative and rural area will turnout in droves for Sanders. Downstate is why he is even able to compete.

Given how unreliable polls have been as of late, perhaps the best interpretation is to wait until the results are in. In any case, a "Rahm" effect would be pretty hard to distinguish.

If Bernie gets higher percentage of black vote than in Michigan it could be a hint.

Tomorrow night is going to be very interesting...

You know as well as I do that most of the "independents" voting in those states are Democrats in all but name.

You guys realize that having Sanders win MO and IL will make the primary map look really ugly due to the result in Iowa, right?

Well, the map in 2008 looked pretty weird because of South Dakota.

I went door knocking today for Bernie and phone banking. Some aren't voting for him. Others are. Then there was one or two persuaded to go his way.
