Sorry Eddie. I figured you had too much sense to support Sanders.

I'm sure your old communist will flip the convention. Maybe a big loud protest outside will help?

QuoteKasich campaign misses deadline, gets left off Oregon voting pamphlet

Oregon's voting pamphlet for the state's May 17 primary election only features two of three GOP presidential candidates — Donald Trump and Ted Cruz — after John Kasich's campaign missed a key deadline to submit information to the state, an embarrassing error that could cost the Ohio governor.

Candidates are responsible for sending information and statements for the pamphlets by March 10, according to the The Register Guard. They are distributed to every household in Oregon and are typically one of the easiest, low-budget ways to reach voters — a lost opportunity for what amounts to a free advertisement for Kasich's cash-strapped operation. Cruz, Trump and Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders all have statements included in the pamphlet.

Kasich's absence on the pamphlet could also disrupt the joint strategy between him and Cruz to take votes away from Trump in Oregon, which votes entirely by mail. The two announced Sunday that they would divide their campaigning, with Cruz focused on Indiana and Kasich on Oregon and New Mexico to prevent Trump from getting the coveted 1,237 delegates he needs to get the Republican nomination.

Trump's rallying the GOP.  :yucky:

Look how he's performed compared to the polls since New York.

Average Since New York +9.0

Connecticut +7.0
Delaware +6.1
Maryland +10.1
New York +6.5
Pennsylvania +11.7
Rhode Island +12.3

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I mentioned to my parents that one thing that's kind of nice about this primary is that states which typically don't matter are getting a lot more attention.

Hey, if Kasich would come out for socialized health care, I could see switching. Even though he is the dullest man alive.



As Clinton and Sanders are close ideologically, I'm going with the one who seems more genuine. And not tainted by Lena Dunham's endorsement.  ;)

According to this 16 unpledged delegates have said they will vote Trump and another 18 or 19 have said they will vote for the District Winner. So that's another 34-35 delegates for Trump.

And that could clinch him--based on what he's done tonight and his general expectations going forward it's not unlikely he hits above 1200, one tool I was playing with on 538 put him at 1228. With the pseudo-uncommitted in PA going for him that would push him over 1237 outright on the first vote.

 It now seems clear that the South was able to act as a harmonious bloc that was decisive in its actions-  But for Dixie, the presumptive nominees of both their parties would surely be undone.

It is a proud moment for a conquered province.  :)

Preferable to Lettow than choosing ethnics like Rubio or Jindal.

Exit polls are looking accurate so far

QuoteFirst* wave exits (so salt profusely):

MD—Trump 52%, Kas 25%, Cruz 21%
CT—Trump: 57%, Kas 26%, Cruz 15
PA—Trump: 58%, Cruz 22%, Kas 17%

Hey, but most Republican voters oppose Trump. That's what Berkut said.
