My good friend lives about 30 miles from Lansing, MI. He just sent me a text from their local news with Bernie at 52%. Of course, this will change throughout the night, but damn...that's a nice start.
i saw the reports of high turnout, and i just thought, "yeah, that's what we heard in the Walker recall, and in the 2014 gubernatorial ...", only to have our guts kicked in when the numbers came out.
NBC says Sanders up 4500 votes (51% to 48%) with 20% reporting.
If he wins, it will take enormous self-control to refrain from going over to dKos and getting myself well and truly banned with a diary that is nothing but a list of upper case HA HA F.U.s to about a dozen very specific individuals, one or two of whom i actually once had marginal respect for.

I'm still worried Detroit will come in 80% HRC -- but any way you slice it, the polls were FUCKING WRONG, and Sanders' constituency has turned out.

What kind of self discipline it will take me. Funny on the CBS NEWS the Michigan primary doesn't exist as they breathlessly repeat over and over that Hillary won Mississippi. Really? Democrats spend 3.5 years badmouthing Mississippi now they are the Democrats new best friend. The mental gymnastics in that are awesome.....
Wasn't Sanders supposed to lose by 20+ points? This is fairly fucking encouraging.

1)This is the pent-up anger of many years of white liberals being condescending, taking them for granted
or
2)Their leaders came and asked them to do this, and they trust their leaders WAY more than any white liberal or progressive, including Sanders.
I'm betting on #2, but there may be a bit of #1 in there too.

make the same observation as someone else made a couple of weeks ago: African Americans do not in aggregate skew particularly liberal. A large fraction of the African American evangelical vote would vote Republican, if the Republican party hadn't committed itself to racism back in 1968.

Two possible explanations
1)This is the pent-up anger of many years of white liberals being condescending, taking them for granted
or
2)Their leaders came and asked them to do this, and they trust their leaders WAY more than any white liberal or progressive, including Sanders.

I will refrain from speculation other than to

Michael Moore says
Sanders still in the lead with 1/3 vote reported. But remember guys--not too high not too low. Hillary will get a lot of votes out of Detroit.
What seems fairly clear is that this won't be the big landslide defeat MSM was predicting only a week ago or so.
