So I'm guessing approximately 20 minutes until AoSHQDD projects the Bernie win?
They are sharing toplines in 17 minutes, but believe they said they wouldn't make projections for another hour after that out of respect to poll workers.
Doh! I should have checked their twitter account first. thanks though

The rest of America has just started tuning in. A long speech is the best thing he could do. It makes him look viable that the networks are covering him for a half an hour and that he is hitting all his talking points.
Sanders isn't electable.
He may be the most electable Democrat in decades. With Clinton you won't independents, so you have already lost the general. Plus no connect with the youth to make the loss every bigger!
Sanders is the only hope now anyways!
Just plain wrong. If you are still here in October I will prove it to you.
You can't. Hillary is the most un-electable Democrat candidate I have seen in the last 30 odd years. Kerry, Gore, who lost were a MUCH MUCH better candidate than Hillary. There is reason why Sanders has clawed back so much & why a rookie like Obama beat her. Atleast Bill was a great orator!
Hillary is ten times the orator of Bernie. He usually comes off as an angry man.
I don't know for Sanders, but, no Hillary isn't a good candidate. If she were, she would be ending her 2nd term in a few months.
Lies, lies, lies. It's usually Republicans that nominate their former runner-up for the nomination the next cycle, but this time the Democrats will be nominating their prior runner-up. Hillary beat Obama in the 2008 democratic primaries for the popular vote.

OK, looks like my memory failed me in terms of timing. But go back about 3 months further and everybody was writing off Bernie. The point is that it's unprecedented for a total outsider to do so well.
Once again... The early states are too white, too liberal and far too few people. Hillary is gonna dominate Bernie in 3 weeks. Super Tuesday baby!

I don't see why Hillary supporters are upset.
She is by far the most likely winner and it will force herself to be a better candidate. Hillary being better is good for the general, no?
Here's my perspective: Bernie never had a real chance to win the party nomination. He also knows this. You can tell from his speech tonight by him saying that "we need to unite as a party in a few months, to defeat the right wing extremist" But because he made a run for the nomination he could potentially isolate many young voters and potentially many under 45 voters as well. It's just lunacy when Dems could have had a cake walk to the Presidency if we all stayed united, but now it's starting to fray, and within a few months many voters COULD (and i stress COULD) become disinterested and not turn out for Hillary in the GE. This would cause the party to be fractured for no good reason.
