I don't think many people expected Sanders to win Vermont and nothing else. That certainly wasn't my expectation. And I wasn't surprised by his big margin of victory in Minnesota and Colorado. The demographics of the Democratic base in those states are fertile territory for him. I was surprised by his solid win in Oklahoma but there are always going to be some surprises. This is a race for delegates and Clinton was the unquestioned winner there because of the shellacking she delivered across the South (except OK) where the biggest delegate rich prizes were. In the one significant delegate-rich state in Bernie's backyard -- MA -- she managed to pull off a narrow win. And she crushed with African-American voters across the south and with Latinos in Texas so she can make the argument her coalition looks like the full spectrum of the party. She now has a pledged delegate lead which will be extremely difficult to overcome.
