As a Sanders supporter, 9% with 2 months to go is a very good outcome - I think you look @ this & say there is a damn good chance of this being competitive - I did not think we could win NJ & thought Clinton would get a 20% victory or so but I guess this is pretty good.
Not bad for a Clinton supporter as well - Apart from Maryland, Virgin Islands & Delaware, I think blowouts or big victories would be hard to obtain for Clinton!
Its not competitive because neither candidate can afford to campaign here over California. We have two media markets, NYC and Philadelphia. If Sanders is smart, he ignores NJ and goes all in on a state that isnt fools gold.
I do agree on that but there's around 20 odd days with no polls (maybe only PR) n stuff - And then you have got CA/NJ/MT/ND/SD/NM etc. If I was Sanders I would compete in every state & those 20 odd days give sufficient time - You take 6-7 days & give to NJ/MT/ND/SD etc & keep the rest 13-14 days for CA which is big.
I mean you only need 2-3 days of rallies & some ads n stuff to get a foothold!
