Delegate advantage (leader total minus trailer total), data from fivethirtyeight.com through Wednesday, 16 March. No numbers yet for Missouri but as it is a virtual tie there should be nearly no change in delegate advantage.
In the South: Clinton +370
Outside the South: Sanders +48

First, from the perspective of March 1st, we're where we realistically hoped to be on March 15. Maybe even better than we hoped.
A couple of days ago, I came across Catherine Austin Fitts for the first time. Fitts, a Wall Street investor and former Assistant Secretary of Housing, uncovered the methods for sucking trillions of dollars out of the US. She explains that it is a coordinated effort between the government and the big banks -- organized crime, she calls it.
She's an excellent speaker and explains it all really well so I recommend that you listen to her rather than have me write out the juicy bits.

We knew Bernie wasn't going to win FLA, or NC.
the margins were close in other states.
Turf looks better, as we know, going forward.
We fight on!
John Nichols is such an insightful analyst and he's very good reading this morning. The link and an extract are placed below. Have a great day.
Good morning, my dear friends of c99. It was a tough night for us. As a little morning after picker-upper, here's some Pete Seeger just below. He encouraged so many millions of oppressed and depressed people over his long and beautiful life.
With the primaries in full swing now, the rhetoric has gotten very hot, some of which is good and much of which is bad, very bad. Barring any significant change, it is almost assured that the Republican nominee will be Donald Trump. The specter of a "proto-fascist" such as Trump being nominated by one of the two major political parties is frightening.
This election has radicalized me.
I will cry out against the capitalist system that destroys the lives of working people and the poor.
I will never give in to corporations having complete control over my awareness of reality.
No corporatist of any political party will ever have my vote, and moreover they have won themselves a foe.
With 100 pc precincts reported, both Hillary and Der Drumpf win by 0,1 - 0,2 % vote (less than 2 000 out of 660 000 or 925 000, resp).
Just amazing!
