Great job. So, isn't enough already in to say Bernie wins MI with 90.1 % in and with a 2.1 % difference in favor of Bernie?

If I just would understand why almost nobody voted in Mississippi for Sanders? Allmost all go to Hillary? Why?

How many delegates could Bernie pick up in HI, if he should win there?

Check this out from NS at 538: "One reminder about the Democratic calendar: Although there are a lot of reasonably good Clinton states on March 15 — according to both polls and demographics — we then have a stretch of states that look quite strong for Sanders. These include Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Alaska, Washington, Hawaii, Wisconsin and Wyoming, all of which vote from March 22 to April 9.

So if Clinton underperforms her polls on March 15 in states such as Ohio as she did tonight in Michigan — and pollsters probably ought to be checking their turnout models carefully after tonight — she could have a really long few weeks ahead, even though Sanders’s delegate math remains highly challenging."

LOL! Hey Nate, polls are not static points; they go with the Mo. And Bernie now has the Big Mo. Welcome to our world, bean counter!

https://dailyinspirationblog.wordpress.com/2016/03/07/manifesto-for-a-po...

The post-materialist paradigm offers us dignity and power, as humans and as scientists. It fosters positive values of compassion, respect, and peace. By emphasizing a deep connection between ourselves and nature at large, the post-materialist paradigm also promotes environmental awareness and the preservation of our biosphere. A lived transmaterial presence may be the cornerstone of health and wellness, as it has been understood through most of human history.

Read the whole manifesto, dated 2014 February and signed by hundreds of academic scientists.

I look forward to the next one and hope you are able to join us! It's gonna be amazing no matter what the outcome of this primary.

This isn't the middle or the end, this is just the beginning, and I can't express how happy that I am able to be a part of it with all of you!

Hopefully, they can head off a major problem.

of rural Iowa with my kids tonight.

Even forgot how much I hate driving in the dark. Thank you for this - can relive the thrill of victory, once again, safe at home with a big smile on my face.

As it currently stands, Bernie has won with a 1.7 point lead.

This is an incredible upset! We are talking a 19.7 point conversion from the BEST projection for Senator Sanders going into Michigan!

This is the boost we needed! The media cannot avoid changing their narrative now, nor are they likely to want to, after all what is more appealing of a story to Americans than a Reality TV Moron?

A Modern Rocky story. Rocky (Sanders) just rattled the HELL out of Apollo Creed and now the music is starting to play.

How the hell can the Media not LOVE that.

This is like Rocky and David and Goliath had a baby and named him Bernie Sanders!

The son of a survivor of the Nazi pogroms, A radical Jew that was universally touted as a fringe candidate, has just done what everyone said was impossible!

He staged a massive comeback against the Goliath that is the Clinton Juggernaut. That Pre-ordained Victor.

Yet this humble guy from New Hampshire that 6 months ago most of America never heard of just achieved one of the most amazing victories in political History.

How can the Media help themselves from running that story?

Let's keep our fingers crossed that the pundits love of a story outweighs their love of money, because while we may have proved them wrong in MI, they still have the power to shape this narrative.

That is, unless we take it from them.

Keep it up my Brother and Sister Sanderista's! We are at the cusp of great change and we are ALL a part of it!

Sanders 2016 and BEYOND!!!

Michigan Democratic Primary Runs Out of Ballots Amid High Turnout
Polling places are reportedly running out of ballots in Michigan today, complicating a critical primary that was predicted to have a record turnout.

Despite the fact that county clerks, the media, and just about everyone else predicted this situation, the primaries in Michigan were chaotic. Grand Rapids even ordered additional ballots, expecting a 25% increase.
