I'm Back! Alpha's Primary watchers live blog for W.V. & Nebraska
Hi guys!
Sorry I missed the last one, with family in town I haven't had a second to do anything but clean and entertain, lol!
I sent them all off to Disney Land as present for my wife's graduatio, for a few days of a quite house for me, and of course, to allow me to able to hang with my C99P Peeps for tonight's primary. 
I will update this post with the Guardians links and the TYT live feed once they go up (probably closer to 6:30ish EST).
The first polls to close will be West Virginia at 7:30PM EST followed by Nebraska at 9:00PM EST.
I look forward to seeing you guys! I got a new bottle of 12 year old barrel aged Scotch, a fresh bag and a positive feeling about tonight!
Hopefully we won't have to look at Mini-Hillary tonight much at all.
Go Bernie! This shit ain't over till WE say it's over!
Zoe and Loki are sitting here in Alpha's Election Central ready to assist me as usual (If by assist you mean repeatedly pestering me for cookies and scratchies, lol.)
I think Zoe may be in love with Bernie, whenever I have one of his speeches on TV she comes and sits right in front of it, it's actually kinda odd. (It would be scary if she did it for Clinton, I would have to cut her cookie rations which could lead to trouble. )
These should help keep you smiling until the results start trickling in.
I think this last one is obvious pro-spider propaganda. (I make my wife handle them, I would rather deal with a 6 foot snake than a 1/2 inch spider... 
)
And again I apologize for missing the last one, I hope I didn't let anyone down.
Update:
Ok, apparently the original Live Blog exploded or something and is down so here it goes again.
Here is the TYT Live feed.

that's not far off the mark. The Guardian calls it ...
a "slim margin [that] does little to narrow Clinton's large delegate lead".
In fact, even though it's been called, their front page banner says "Trump wins West Virginia primary as Sanders declares victory over Clinton".
Dang - my headline guess wasn't far off! n/t

42 is fine. It is just a dream of mine. I wish everything was that simple.
Why does the NYT use that bilious green for Bernie?
Inquiring minds want to know. Not to mention the Greens.

It's not the win. It's by how much
I've said this to people many times. I've encountered a few people in CA who know Bernie will win here so "they don't really need to vote". I try to impress on them that it's not enough to win CA. We have to turn out in droves because the only path to the White House is by how much.
Yes, Bernie will win California. I have no doubt of that. But we need an 80% Bernie 20% Hillary vote to pull this hat trick off.
UPDATE: Sorry I misposted. This was supposed to be in response to AlphaLop's "this is so close to 15 I can taste it!"

Just as an aside, the 1 county Hillary is up has a gap of less
than 20 votes...

Solid turquoise here we come.

ooh, I like the looks of that!
Very pretty!! Go Turquoise!!
according to the NYT
Bernie now has 16 of the state's delegates while Hillary has 11. Are the other two delegates at large or something?
Life is strong. I'm weak, but Life is strong.
The other two delegates
which would be for that prisoner guy (who I know nothing about) will be given to Sanders and Clinton based on the percentages they have at the end of the race. Anyone who gets less than 15% of the vote has their delegates split among the higher ranking candidates according to percentage of the overall vote.
Bernie will definitely get one (bringing him to 17! freakin' awesome) and if he widens the gap just a little bit more he can get the other (18! freakin' awesomer).
The people, united, will never be defeated.

Point Three away
from 15. Come on 15!!!
bizarre poll says Hillary up 15 in Oregon
I think that's wayyyyyyyyyy off.
Besides the fact that I personally don't like that polling company, I doubt if they factored in the news that 100,000 Oregonians changed their registration so they could vote in the primary, the large majority of those switching to Democratic. I would think that the kind of person who supports Hillary would already be a Democrat while Bernie supporters likely had gotten sick of the Dems and switched to independent or Working Families or Pacific Green or whatever and are now the very same people who have switched back to Dem.
That sounds borderline crazy.
There must have been some serious flaws in their methodology.

Oregon, Portland!!!???
That does not compute.

Yeah, that can't be accurate.
I actually expect a wider margin of victory in Oregon than in California. But don't misinterpret me. Both will be wide.
The people, united, will never be defeated.
Do you recall
which pollster it is, Shahryar?
that Oregon poll was Davis, Hibbitts and Midghall
fairly mainstream pollsters
Thank you,
sure hope they're off and crazy. Never heard of them.

The percentages in Mingo County
don't add up. Hmmmmm.
Life is strong. I'm weak, but Life is strong.
Overall, a candidate named other is getting 12.6%
of the vote. Must be some local guy who managed to get on the ballot. I've noticed a lot of the county totals don't add up. Maybe he's from Mingo County!

Likely the polls in Oregon only called landlines and asked oldsters who only know Hillary who they liked.
there are a couple of oddballs running for President in WV despite having NO chance, they appeal to the more nutty folks here.

So what you're saying is
that even running with a 3rd party on the ticket Sanders still wins.

that Oregon poll has an unbelievable over 45 split
they say it's Hillary 56-25. I do NOT believe it.
My unofficial poll taken at our last meetup...
was that 9 out of ten people would not vote for Hillary.
One person was confused and thought we were talking about climbing Mount Everest.
(Kidding, kidding, but I have yet to meet any Hillary over 45s...)
I do not pretend I know what I do not know.

That would be pretty sweet, but I would like to see him solidify the 15 point lead a bit.
"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 thing is you can just see that the state would go
for Sanders in the GE, but Trump would beat Clinton
Hillary would need 60% of Bernie supporters, but would get less than half, and might lose to Trump.
Bernie would only need 40% of Hillary supporters, but would probably get two-thirds and cream Trump.
So, if Clinton is the (D) nominee WV will go (R); but if Sanders is the (D) nominee WV will go (D).
