The former Burlington mayor paused for a polling-place photo with a man who asked how he’d voted on the controversial road question.

“Private,” Sanders said. “But I will tell you, after a lot of thought, I voted for me for president.”

Ignore my doomerism, I don't think better things are possible

Hillary will likely under-perform the latest pre-ST polling data, and it would be a miracle if she hits that viability point in Vermont. Rather than win supporters over from Bernie, Hillary will hit a point where it looks inevitable that she is the nominee and discourages Bernie supporters from coming out to vote in primaries. I would be shocked if we are already at that point where Bernie voters give up and let Hillary win. If Hillary performs to par today, I'd expect that mentality to sink in going forward, but today was supposed to be the day that the Sanderistas brought everything they had.

"You treat her like a lady... and she'll always bring you home."
THINGS TO WATCH FOR EARLY

We'll probably know by abotu 5:30, 6:00 PM pacific (sorry, best coast) what the shape of the evening's going to be. I'll be referring to my projection which gave my projection above (~270 Trump, 160 Rubio, 150 Cruz).

At 4:00 Pacific, Alabama, Georgia, Vermont, and Virginia close. Per the projection, the expected margins are:
AL: Trump +12
GA: Trump +14
VA: Trump +12
VT: Trump +16

This would represent Trump performing between 0 and 5 points of his RCP average, and is his best-case scenario. In this event, we'd probably see at least two of these states called as polls closed. So-

If the networks call more than 1 of these states for Trump immediately at 4 PM Pacific, we're probably going to see the expected Trump landslide winning most states. If they don't call any, Trump might be having a bad night and not beat out Cruz/Rubio by much!

At 5:00 Pacific, the entire states of Massachusetts, Oklahoma, and Tennessee close. Again, we have the projection:
OK: Trump +7
MA: Trump +22
TN: Trump +19

Again, between 0-5 points below the RCP average (except in Tennessee, where they're oddly not including a statewide poll I found from a good newspaper). If these are right, Massachusetts and Tennessee should be called immediately. If the first four are in line with projections, we'll have gotten enough votes 90 minutes after polls close to know it. So:


If by 8:30 Eastern / 5:30 Pacific, less than six states have been called for Donald Trump, he is underperforming more than ~5 points relative to his RCP averages and he'll probably not get as big a win (+120-130 delegates relative to Rubio/Cruz) as expected; if every state has been called that soon, it's a Trumpocalypse!

With Colorado's caucuses so damned late, do you think Hillary's sweeping of every non-Vermont state will influence the results? Like people just decide to go ahed and caucus for Hillary because she just locked it in?

Seems like there's quite a bit of Bernie support in Colorado Springs and Boulder, not sure about Denver or the rural areas though.

Possibly, it does seem like Sanders is much more sensitive to morale and motivation since his supporters are young.

CO's jan 4th registration cut off and closed Democratic only will hurt Sanders.

5 Reasons Bernie Sanders Supporters Should Be Hopeful Going into Super Tuesday

1. Bernie is absolutely crushing Hillary in the money race

2. In South Carolina, Bernie was the far-and-away favorite of voters that swing elections

3. Bernie is polling very well in significant Super Tuesday states

4. 96 percent of primary voters haven’t voted yet

5. The media is severely understating Bernie Sanders’ electability

Let's look at that #2

quote:

Even though Hillary Clinton beat Bernie Sanders by 47 percent in South Carolina, Sanders still won key constituencies by decisive margins — these are the same demographics that typically decide general elections.

That is odd. I've responded to at least 5 internal/PAC polls in just the last week: Clinton, two from Cruz Pacs (keep the promise 1 AND keep the promise 3), Rubio, and one I didnt catch the name of. Clinton's was the only one with a live pollster.

The OK #s are unusual. I'm not sure how accurate they'll be. This doesn't look like Bernie's normal electorate at all. Independents are supporting Hillary and Bernie is only winning 18-29s by 14 (instead of his usual 60 points)
