Democratic Super Tuesday results thread (first polls close at 7pm ET)

There's something fishy going on in MN. The county map shows Sanders winning several districts by a nearly 2 to 1 margin, while the vote total is still stuck at Clinton 61-45...

It looks like Sanders is crushing Clinton in MN, and he's in good shape in CO. I know that winning CO, MN, and OK doesn't make up for losing the others, but if he wins them by a lot (looks like he'll in OK by 10.5 or so), he survives, provided Texas tightens at least a little.

Don't tell me MA is the next IA...

[Xing]

It's probably more that CO is a good fit for Sanders.

[Xing]

I'm not sure why AP hasn't called MA and MN yet...

[Xing]

"Sanders has won Massachusetts, according to A.P."

LOL OOPS

CNN spinning it as Bernie making it a race.

Well, it is a race. Just one that he has a <1% chance of winning, at this point.

[Xing]

Clearly, Sanders' performance in CO/MA/MN/OK/VT wasn't bad at all. It was his crushing losses in the South that made it a bad night for him. Case in point, the biggest mistake of the Sanders campaign was only focusing on states he thought he could win. In a proportional system, it's worth your while to invest in Texas, even if it's not a state you can win. Better to lose by 15% than 35%.

should not lose track of this prime objective.

The prime objective is electing Hillary so she can appoint the 9th Supreme Court justice. THAT IS THE PRIME OBJECTIVE! THIS SINGLE JUSTICE WILL DEFINE A GENERATION PEOPLE! A GENERATION!

Bernie does better in the general election.

No one gives a crap about early GE polls. Especially given how Sanders has pretty much gotten a free pass by the media and GOP unlike Hillary.

Of course, it's true that GE polls this early mean next to nothing. However, I have little doubt that if Clinton was doing better against Republicans in polls right now, Clinton supporters would cite that as evidence that she's more electable than Sanders (and Sanders supporters would dismiss those polls.)
