"Sanders defeated Clinton in Washington’s caucuses 73% to 27% and 81% to 16% in Alaska’s. In Hawaii, which was called at 3.54am Sunday ET, he won by 71%-29% with 88% reporting."

Hillary Clinton: 1,712 (469 superdelegates)...Bernie Sanders: 1,004 (29 superdelegates)...Not yet allocated: 2,049.

Right?

Roughly corresponds with what I consider the best resource for delegate totals on both sides, The greenpapers:

big push in Washington (and elsewhere) for these "super" folks to reflect the caucus vote totals. only problem is, all of these "super" folks in this state have already very publicly endorsed Hillary....

Bernie Crushes Hillary Last Night

He did indeed crush her. That was satisfying. I need a cigarette.


Hillary, the media darling, had quite the setback last night. The David/Goliath image is quite nice: Small donations vs Big Money. It wasn't even close, with Bernie absolutely clobbering Clinton 70% to 82% in all three states. It looks like Clinton didn't win any counties in the three states?

Green Papers lists Clinton with 1,266, Bernie with 1038. Of course, Clinton has 470 superdelegates to Bernie's 29, but even the media is reporting that the superdelegates may switch. We've already seen some backtracking from some of the Supes...

Hillary is probably still going to pull out the nomination in the end, but man oh man is she getting her ass handed to her, she is not going to be in good shape come general election time.

Sanders won a few states with minimal delegates. Come New York, Hillary will take the nomination.

Ol Bernie has no chance. His own party heads doesn't want him. The rules are not in his favor. The berniebots will soon learn they really don't have a choice in this election and that their party is just as corrupt as the next.

I don't necessarily agree with you. New York has closed primaries, and only registered Democrats will be allowed to vote in the Democratic primary. The Mayor is more liberal than Hillary. He has convinced people they should be getting more freebies from government. I think Bernie will look very attractive to them.

I'll go by the delegate counts at http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/democratic_delegate_count.html
... and only count the normal delegates that are committed (because the super delegates are an entirely different equation)

Up to and thru 15MAR ... Clinton - 1168 (58%) ... Sanders - 847 (42%)
Up to and thru 22MAR ... Clinton - 1223 (57%) ... Sanders - 920 (43%)
Up to and thru 26MAR ... Clinton - 1243 (56%) ... Sanders - 975 (44%)

Those haven't been updated with the full Washington state totals. Washington had 101 pledged delegates up for grabs. RCP only shows 34 being awarded.

de Blasio has been a Clinton operative for multiple decades, and is one of her highest profile backers. He frequently represents her campaign in national media interviews.

He's a jerk, though, and most people dislike him very strongly. The only ones who like him are the teachers' union.
