Alpha's Super Tuesday #3 Results Live Blog.
Submitted by Alphalop on Tue, 03/15/2016 - 3:17pm
Hi guys, it's me again.
I will be dropping the results of the various states returns in here and just hanging out chatting as the results come in from today's Primary.
Drop in and join me if you are bored, we usually have a good time.
Hope to see you in less than an hour!
GO BERNIE!!!! Lets see some UPSETS!!!!

Comments
Yes part of Florida is central time
The western portion, Crestview, Pensacola,Baker,etc...
Yes, the line
The time zone line is weird. It runs along the Apalachicola River but jogs way westward right before it hits the coast so that Apalachicola and several small communities to its west are still in the Eastern zone. The only large city in the Central zone is Pensacola. Smaller cities include Ft. Walton (Eglin AFB) and Panama City.

Yes with three airbases
Hurlburt and Eglin plus P'cola...let's hope the military dems go for Bernie
Military is pretty damned strong for Bernie.
I wonder if military is gonna split btw Bernie and Trump? Or if Trump's crazy is a bridge too far for them?

Florida panhandle is CST. I have a best friend who voted in NC, and she said it will be awhile before they call the state. So, who knows?

Thank you!
Can Bernie pull off an upset in Ohio?
Nate Silver on FiveThirtyEight:
I don't read Nate Silver all the time, so I don't know if he takes momentum into account. Hillary starts off everywhere with support based on name recognition - very few voters have never heard of her, obviously. Once the Bernie campaign gets his message out, the polls move his way. Close to Election Day, his excellent TV ads kick in. Tentative Hillary supporters switch over. Volunteers remind Bernie supporters to cast their votes. Polls are at best a snapshot - they don't always capture the accelerating erosion of Hillary's initial advantage.

MSNBC called Ohio for Hillary
MSNBC called Ohio for Hillary with 12 percent of the returns. Maybe they relied on exit polls.

Rubio's office evacuated in DC after white powder found in mail
No other info as of yet other than hazmat teams have been dispatched.

He is from Florida....
Maybe it was just his "Devils Dandruff" supply?
"I don't know what that powder is! It was in... Umm.... That envelope over there! Yeah... That's the ticket..."
"I used to vote Republican & Democrat, I also used to shit my pants. Eventually I got smart enough to stop doing both things." -Me
Maybe stuffing
for his empty suit? Rubio was the establishment's chosen puppet. Unfortunately for him, he could not remember his lines.

Hey y'all...
I added an "Add New Comment" editor at the bottom of the page, like it's done for DK5. So now you have a "Add New Comment" link at the top of the page and an "Add New Comment" editor at the bottom. That should make it much more convenient in long threads like this one.
Take note to still reply to specific comments by using the "Reply" link. The "Add New Comment" editor at the bottom is for adding a comment to the essay.
"much more convenient in long threads"
thanks
Awesome!
It's so intuitive I didn't even realize I used it till after I used it and saw your post.

I am hoping Bernie continues to upset the Pundits and the Clintonites at the GOS.

Agreed
I can not focus and think straight, so nervous about waiting- can not stand it. I need it now! Famous quote from a movie- anyone?
Should be another hour

Chris Matthews was downright sycophantic in his treatment of Hillary.
It was pretty gross.

Thank you Alphalop, and everyone, for being here!
I am still stuck at work today, two more hours to go, just waiting for the results later tonight and keeping fingers crossed. It's not over, whatever happens, the fight goes on. Bernie is here in AZ again today, not ignoring us or writing us off! Gotta love that! I'm so happy to have this group to hang out with while we wait.
Okay this is how I feel.
LoL I made a Varuca Salt reference earlier! Great minds... :)

That is so funny! I love it.
Wonder where they got that clip of Bernie? Too funny.
I literally giggle like a little kid every time I see it.
I am waaay to easily amused...

My wife and I were ust talking about Trump blaming Bernie
for the protests at his rallies and she said, "Well of course he is gonna blame it on a Jew, He's Hitler!" LoL!
"I used to vote Republican & Democrat, I also used to shit my pants. Eventually I got smart enough to stop doing both things." -Me
LOL! Would she please run for office? She's smarter all them:-)

Why blame Bernie?
Because Trump is starting to pivot to Bernie as his real opponent. Or at least hedging his bets.

I think Bernie really does scare Trump.
He knows he has TONS of ammo he can fire at Hillary.
There is literally NOTHING he can throw at Bernie that will stick and anything he tries will just make him look like a bigger asshole and galvanize Bernies supporters to work even harder to get out the vote.
I have said it since before either candidate declared that the ONLY way the Democrats can lose in 2016 is if we nominate Hillary Clinton.
Man did I have no clue how hard the DNC was gonna work to prove me right...
"I used to vote Republican & Democrat, I also used to shit my pants. Eventually I got smart enough to stop doing both things." -Me
The DNC reminds me...
Of certain guys I've played tabletop wargames with.
They set up their force to project MAXIMUM firepower in one direction, and do not move the entire game, save for a small group dedicated to taking whatever the objective is. They expect you to do the exact same thing, and leave the entire game up to a roll of the dice. Since they get to roll MORE, they figure they'll always win.
I guess it should be no surprise that i tend to win against that. I play with Heavy Cavalry/maneuver.
You'd be shocked at how many times I'm accused of cheating by these players, not realizing that they are the reason they keep losing.
I do not pretend I know what I do not know.
Agreed...
Anyone that doesn't know the power of a mobile flanking anvil has never studied war. And war has a lot of similarities to politics.

anybody else hearing about Hispanic vote in Illinois?

Shock Illinois exit poll:
Hispanics voting 65-35 @BernieSanders over @hillaryclinton.

They were saying earlier that voters in Chicago
were telling them over and over that they were switching from Hillary to Bernie.
To paraphrase myself from a comment on the GOS several weeks ago, "I think as more POC's get to know Bernie, the more they will trust him and Hillary's vaunted firewall will turn out to be nothing more than Flash paper once it is exposed to The Bern!"

BTW, Cenk says the TYT (Youtube) election coverage begins at 6:45 pm.

That would be an awesome feature.
Or even if the Recent Comments tab on the side could "Float" on the side so it was always on the screen and just have it auto update would be good too...

That is my only wish for Florida
I do not have too much hope for Florida, the only thing is that I hope for is it not immediately called.

On TYT Cenk calmly intones... "Do not freak out / we are totally going to freak out."
Less than 10 minutes until the polls close in Florida.
"We've done the impossible, and that makes us mighty."
OH closes in a few minutes. Here's how it voted in '08.

I'm interested to later compare this 08 map with this primary election.

Turnout News?
That makes a difference for Bernie.
Also think we need new thread when results start coming in, please. And thank you for doing this, Alphalop.
New thread- please
It will start a new page soon, but the thread is linked to FP
So I don't want to abandon it.

Going to a freaking meeting
Need to do some work, so keeping positive thoughts for everyone!
Question for anyone in Florida --
Any idea why Bernie couldn't get traction there? I find it very odd but don't know much about the state.
Hell is empty and all the devils are here. William Shakespeare
Because
A goodly number of Dems in Florida are conservative. I vote here.
Seriously I have no idea why people in Florida vote the way they do.
