Discussion: Networks: Democratic New York Primary Too Early To Call

I’m gonna call bullshit on that CNN exit poll. With 17% in, she is still up over 20 points, and the exit polling I was looking at had her up by a healthy 10 points.

No. And your unicorn has been grounded.

Benchmark called it (they aim for the first to call it :)). Some exits show a close race, which may make the networks cautious.

She is the most qualified candidate to ever run for President! She should win by 40 pts. in her home state, where she is universally loved! It´s a no-brainer!

New York called for Hillary!

NBC and ABC both called it for Clinton.

Now we wait and see what the spread is.

So far Sanders is ahead in only 3 CDs, though the totals are not yet really showing enough to establish a solid trend in each CD.

And the spin.

This is a margin call by Benchmark. See how close they will be (they’ve been pretty good in this race thus far).

We are ready to make our final margin call. At 31% reporting, we are calling New York for Clinton, 57%-43%. We project Clinton will net around +40 delegates, though we will track the CDs throughout the night.

If that 14% margin benchmark is predicting holds, it would be right on the button with 538s forecast margin.

Its about what I expect to see…though at over 40% reporting, she is still up 21 points on CNN.

Strange – I thought I posted in this thread, but just now noticed the same post (duplicate) is posted here as well…

Oh, we know the spin already. Its a combination of how corrupt the system is for not changing the rules to suit Bernie and Hillary totally should have won by 100%, as already being offered up by our resident Bernie troll here on this thread.

Trump’s son is right: it’s like Communist China.

Me too. The TPM dog ate my post so I posted it again.

I think it will back down some. I think the 14% is about right.

How could she?..with all the Bernie Bots, running heater-skelter like neurotic monkeys, out of their crack fix!

Now that the jig’s up - progressives can focus on beaten republicans like bare-ass mules.

None of the major news networks – NBC News, CNN, or Fox News – were prepared

… so were frantically scrambling to rewrite their scripts to reflect the actual truth of the situation; while in the Exec suites the Suits were rending their garments and gnashing their teeth, “Why! Why wasn’t it a Tie???”
