I've only heard qualitative statements like, "He made unexpected inroads with the minority vote" so far. I wonder if we're heading for another 1968. ;0)

Exit polls said it was more about enthusiasm and dissatisfaction with government. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.

Anyone who had or knew someone who had a manufacturing job couldn't really trust her. That counteracted the black leadership support of Clinton. Bernie really needed to tell and repeat the story of his minor, but at the time risky, support of the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov

With 92% of votes counted, Bernie is 26K ahead. - (a6l6e6x) - (3) - March 8, 2016, 11:22:42 PM EST

And now, at 94% votes in, NBC projects Bernie the winner. -NT - (a6l6e6x) - (2) - March 8, 2016, 11:42:49 PM EST

Yup. ~ 22,000 votes out of 1M+. Every vote matters. Congrats to the old screamy guy. :-) -NT - (Another Scott) - (1) - March 8, 2016, 11:47:26 PM EST

Truthful and transparent is great, but we don’t even have a coherent strategy to obfuscate.
