I voted for Bernie. I voted for Kucinich in 2008, and I voted for Nader in 2000. (Not proud of that last one, I was too old even then to be so naive.)

Even so, I am getting sick of attacks from right wing sources on Hillary from Bernie supporters.Tip: even dumb right wing baggers can figure out how to post their sewage on Huff, Kos, and other liberal aggregator sites.

Let the paranoid hate-filled rantings of unbalanced HRC supporters commence!
Oops, too late.

i hope Bernie wins but i wonder why the republicans haven’t attacked him like they have HRC. and if he does become president who will he blame if he can’t get any of his program through. because the fact is if its him or HRC that is president nothing will change.

Because they want to run against Bernie

Is that what you claimed when Obama was elected?

Or were you too little to vote then?

What a refreshing bit of humility and maturity. Wish I could like this a thousand times.

It hasn’t been in doubt that Sanders would win WI. The issue is by how much does he win. I’ve heard a few different polls and the spread has been pretty wide. He needs to win decisively over Clinton in order to cut into her delegate lead.

As expected and meaningless from a dumb state that could have recalled Walker, and FAILED.

Hey, if Koch money were behind you, you’d win, too.

Hmmmm.

Not saying they’re behind Bernie, of course. But it’s amazing what money and influence can do to those who don’t pay attention.

I read that the Koch brothers are not going to try to influence the election.

Right. No way. Nope. Not going to happen.

I remember that in 2010, when Snyder was running for governor, we got the most interesting pieces of mail. Not for or against a candidate, but definitely scare tactics that targeted the elderly, who went out and voted for Snyder.

(1) Hillary has been been heavily favored to win since day one, and is now considered all but certain to win. So it only makes sense that’s where the GOP would focus the bulk of their attacks. In other words, the same reason Hillary and Bernie aren’t bothering to attack Kasich.

(2) They may have believed Bernie would be easier to beat in November, and therefore held their fire in hopes he might win the primary.

Yeah. That too.

Conor, Sanders has won ‘caucus’ states recently, not primaries. There’s a difference…He should win Wisconsin but Clinton’s victories in FL, OH, SC, MO and IL were more significant than his yuge wins in the Caucus states…far fewer delegates.

Any win is obviously better than a loss, but yes, Bernie really needs a double-digit win in Wisconsin to make even modest progress. Doesn’t have to be quite as big as his recent caucus wins (and almost certainly won’t be), but a narrow win yields a near-tie in delegates won, and therefore doesn’t get him anywhere in the delegate race.

A near-tie doesn’t even leave him in the same position he was in before the vote, because Hillary would still have about the same pledged delegate lead of about 260, and meanwhile there would be fewer remaining available delegates to make up that gap. So he really needs to outperform even his best poll showing, this 8 point lead reported today. I have no idea whether he will or not. Given that polling has been moving in his direction, it’s at least plausible.

Meanwhile, he’s further behind in New York – looks like about 10 points…although that’s only based on two polls (earlier polls have Hillary way ahead). And he obviously really needs a big win there too. But he has a couple weeks before that contest, and we’ve seen him erase bigger deficits than that, given a little time.

Again, though, winning New York by the kind of margin he would need to stay in any kind of mathematical contention to win the delegate race…that’s a much bigger challenge. Same basic dynamic as Wisconsin, but both tougher terrain, and several times more consequential in terms of the delegates at stake.
