Super Tuesday Results Thread

[NOVA Green]

I’m willing to admit that if Biden wins Maine & Minnesota; this is a lean Biden primary.

Biden better not pull a Hillary and choose a Tim Kaine as VP; young progressives will stay home.

Young progressives are already staying home... that's the lesson of tonight.

Did you vote today?   

[win win]

NEWS: bloomberg is reassessing his campaign tomorrow. Likely: biden endrosement

Bernie leading by .1% in Maine with 28.4% in!

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

It's 3:30 AM here... please count quickly...

6:30 on the best coast. Our polls are still open for 90 minutes!

CO called for Sanders on MSNBC

[Gass3268]

Congrats to Sanders supporters and winning Colorado!

The NYT Magic 8-Ball needles are currently showing:

AR: Very likely Biden
CO: Leaning Sanders
ME: Maybe Biden
MA: Maybe Sanders
MN: Probably Biden
OK: Probably Biden
TX: Tilting Biden

I'm interested as to why they think MA still favors Sanders. Biden is cleaning up in a lot of the state.

I don't understand either. The towns that reported are Biden-friendly, but I expect the ones that haven't are more Warren than Sanders.

Did you vote today?   

Yes. I strategically voted for Bernie Sanders, but the way the night is going, I should have just voted for Warren.

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

For those of you counting on California to save Bernie, I would like to remind you that HRC won the Golden State. While I think Sanders is going to win here, it likely isn't going to be the romp that the Bernie people are hoping for.

We're aware now, thank you

I'll take it. lol

I'm late to the party today but answer me a possibly simple question: Should we assume that the day of vote is going to be very Biden friendly based on 1) the events of the last week and 2) most Bernie voters will probably vote early given their unlikelihood to vote for another candidate?

Just wondering looking at the Texas results.

[Illini Moderate]

Tim Kaine was a terrible pick that stopped Hillary from gaining an ounce of excitement  and didn’t help with WWC or moderate Republicans.

They thought the real fight was going to be in the sun belt. Easy to look back on as a mistake but many of us would've agreed at the time

Yes. The E-Day vote everywhere has been VERY biden friendly when compared to Early vote. However out west, the early vote is more significant than in the east.

Sherrod Brown was the best option for her.

Biden is up in Boston.

Biden should just drop out now then.

Right. I voted early, and for Buttigieg (10% of us Harris County residents did!) so I'm curious to see the early vote counted and seeing Bernie's advantage...but how it could easily disappear based on day of results.

Monster night for Biden.

[Storr]

It looks like Bloomberg and Warren will be close to the 15% magic line in a bunch of states. It should be interesting to see how things shake out for them.

[It’s so Joever]

Just came back from a flight, is Biden really leading in Massachusetts and Maine!?

I'd be shocked if he does. My first bet would be Kamala Harris.

1.  Tim Kaine was a good pick.
2.  Kamala Harris would be a good pick too.

Kaine was a highly qualified pick, but he was NOT a good pick. Sure, he by no means single-handedly doomed Hillary's campaign, but his choice was emblematic of why Hillary lost. Her number one challenge was convincing the Obama coalition & voters in general that she represented real change in a year when the electorate wanted an outsider. The VP pick was the one big chance for her to signal that, even though Hillary herself was the consummate establishment politician, she had heard the message loud & clear and was ready to shake things up.

And Hillary had a number of strong choices to pick from, including Warren (who clearly wanted the job), Sanders (politically unthinkable but he would've unified the party & supercharged millennial turnout), Brown (Sanders-lite), or even somebody like Castro or Booker who at least would've added charisma to the ticket & helped to keep the Obama coalition engaged.

So what happened? Hillary chose not just another insider, but one utterly lacking in charisma, apparently for no other reason than that she just felt more comfortable with Kaine than with somebody like Warren, who would've been a disruptive presence in Clintonworld. To be fair, I know Tim Kaine is a nice guy who's highly qualified & would've helped with Senate outreach, but the VP doesn't necessarily need to fulfill that role or any particular role from a governing standpoint.

It was surreal seeing Democratic Party insiders & the Washington press all sing Kaine's praises, while meanwhile it was obvious to many young &/or left-leaning voters that he was a terrible choice for the reasons I mentioned above.

VPAP is at its best tonight with Virginia maps showing CDs and precincts.
https://www.vpap.org/electionresults/20200303/map/cdists/

Biden won every precinct in Norfolk tonight, even the precincts with lots ODU students and the microbrew/avocado toast Ghent area.

Why isn't Bernie getting more support in Vermont?  I will feel very bad for him if Virginia gives Biden more support than Bernie gets in his home state.

Warren.....

Thx for sharing the VA precinct map btw--- love it!!!

[Yank2133]

Regardless of who wins, Bloomberg falling on his ass will be the highlight of this cycle. Biden spent 25 cent lmao and still crushed him.

Just came back from a flight, is Biden really leading in Massachusetts and Maine!?

Yeah, although ME is really close and has been going back and forth the entire night.
