  1. RCP reports betting odds.  This shocked me.  From 2/22, to today Biden moved from 9.1 to 59.2;  Bernie from 54.3 to 36.6; Lizzie from 2.8 to 2.0 and Mike from 21.8 to 6.4.  Ladies and Gentlemen, place yer bets.

  2. CNN reporting the obvious – Biden to win in VA, Bernie in VT.
    FiveThirtyEight is also projecting that Biden will win the nomination with 1737 as its model’s mean versus 1363 for Bernie.  Those numbers will change after tonight and become much more predictive.

  3. You need more votes to win the nomination
    I support the letter in today’s ny times to award the nomination to Sherrod Brown in a brokered convention

  4. Obama campaign manager David Plouffe on MSNBC: “Come tomorrow morning it’ll be incontrovertible that either it’s Sanders or Biden who will face off against Trump.”

  16. Bernie is learning the hard way that grown ups don’t like cranky old coots shaking their fingers at them and telling them what to do.

     

  17. ABC looks like they’re set up for a telethon.   Do they need that many folks in the studio?

    Hi everyone!  

  20. I have a question.  I live in the South (South Texas).  I know these people in the South – and their attachment to religion.
    I have not heard this issue anywhere on TV and from the political pundants.  
    Could religion be having a major impact here?
     

  28. Hi!  Peeking in during half time of a Celtics game again.  Figure it’s going to be a long night of returns.
     
    Good to see old faces!
     
    Go, Joe, go!

  29. But his folks are well-indoctrinated.   “Rigging.”   Did ya hear her?  
    Hi, Ty!
     
    dv – Religion, in what what way?  Amongst Dems?  The Republicans all hide behind the Bible, but they don’t act very Christian.   Mitt’s the only one with an intact soul.  

  31. Warren so far not even getting to 15% delegate threshold in her birth state Oklahoma, and 3d in home state Massachusetts. Luv ya Liz but it’s not working out.

  33. Have a good rest of your evening folks.  I’m closing the keyboard and off for a good book.  You hold it in your hands and the black squiggles on the white page tells you stories and everything. 

     

  34. KC, you did not take statistics?  The mean of the candidates’ delegate analysis is not the total delegates projected. It is the midpoint of a normal curve – Biden’s curve overlaps the 1991 threshold significantly.  Bernie!’s touches it barely.  No one else’s is within a mile. Lizzie is done.
     
    Mrs.P, while talking about Tweety, (she is a lawyer and does not buy into the Me Too movement) said something like, “What, like Trump doesn’t abuse women, and he is the Tweet. Master of assholeness.”  I love it. I definitely married up.

  35. Ty, we need the Canadian viewpoint around here.  Stop playing hooky goldangit. 
    Poobah, re: Val – have you stopped smoking (did I miss something?)

  36. KC, such BS.  RCP reports that with 10% in Biden is up by 8% over Bernie!  Your Biden hatred is astounding and slants your opinion to the point that you deny facts.  

  39. NBC is winning in coverage tonight.   Conversations instead of that 3-ring circus and cast of thousands they have over at ABC.   I like George Stef, but…

  43. Bernie talking about how he’ll how’ve the biggest turnout in history this November. He either hasn’t been paying attention or he’s lying.  

  46. Well, that’s cool that a diverse field of impressive candidates has been winnowed down to the two oldest, whitest, shittiest candidates.  Good fucking job, Democrats.
     
    …will support the eventual nominee.

  48. Joe mixes up wife and sister.  Dependable, old, Joe.  Ha!    He’s got a lot of energy tonight!    Put Warren on the ticket!  

  55. Warren’s done – coming in 3rd in MA and ME and 3rd or 4th everywhere else.  Bink, you can’t blame “Dems” when the home folks won’t vote for your candidate.  After tonight we are all faced with binary choices.  Joe v. Bernie then Dem v. SFB. Time to face that reality and move forward with an eye toward getting the orange clown to retirement in Florida in January 2021.  Pick a horse and ride.

  58. It was obvious from the very beginning that trump is most afraid of Biden.  The only thing I care about at this point is getting trump out of the WH.  Nothing else matters.

  59. To move to a different issue – Sessions is ahead of Tuberville by .9% with 36% in in AL for the Repuke senatorial nomination.  The child stalker is mired at < 7% – fuck him.  Hard to see our boy Doug beating Sessions in November, but you never know, do you?

  62. Bink, not trying to rub it in, just facing facts.  I was there in 2008.  Hated it, but it took a couple weeks of wound licking then getting on board with O.  Came to understand that while I was a huge Hillary supporter, the important thing was to beat McCain and Caribou Barbie.  The timing is different, but I get it.  

  66. Biden winning by landslides in smaller states, competitive in Texas, maybe CA, meaning he’s surviving the night in delegate count with more favorable states going forward. Bernie is done. 

  73. Elizabeth Warren is amazing.  I hope she ends up on the ticket or somewhere in the new administration.   G’nite.

  83. Liz can’t play spoiler. Bloomberg, Buttigieg and Warren have 26 (Buttigieg) to 28 (the other 2) delegates. (Liz is now up to 30 and may get another handful in CA). Buttigieg has endorsed Biden, so if his supporters follow his lead his delegates go to Biden. Bloomberg’s votes are likely going to Biden – he’s certainly not part of the revolution- so if Liz’s delegates go to Bernie they are likely to be offset by Bloomberg’s or Pete’s, or both.

    If you judge by 2016, it is his ego.

    He’s been whining, kvetching, and waving his anger finger at us since the 2016 convention and the cult has been even worse.  I dread looking at Twitter from now until this year’s get together.

    It would cost him too much money and he just glories in those $27 donations and book sales.

     

     

  87. Obama campaign manager David Plouffe: “I don’t see a single place on the map left where I would say Bernie Sanders would get 58% or 60% of the vote in a two-way race. And there’s a bunch of them for Joe Biden.” 

  89. Obama campaign manager David Plouffe on MSNBC: “Biden went from being almost out of the race 72 hours ago to being back to the Democratic frontrunner.”
