For some inexplicable reason, Hillary has some strength in this state; also, of course, there's the fixers.
So far, this isn't so bad.

Right now, though if we can get to the magic number that's great, the main thing is to keep her from getting there.

just a tad over 50% of the delegates.

You can't always get what you want
But if you try
Sometimes you find
You get what you need.

I hope so.

as Janet has pointed out, we're not immune to shenanigans. Davis and Hibbitts are well respected pollsters and they had Hillary up 15%. Now on a personal level I dislike them quite a bit. They're know-it-alls who didn't really listen to my business pitch. I provide statistics services for companies like theirs. I talked to them briefly, came away thinking "boy, are they #$#%&^s." But they've been pretty accurate. I hope, however, that they've made a major blunder on this one.

Meanwhile in Kentucky, if Bernie had been up by a point with 84% in and then down by a point with 86% in then Hillary must have gotten every single one of those 8,000 or so votes. Kind of peculiar but par for this primary season.

less than 1,000 votes difference.

Of course, Jefferson County means she'll win the state, but it's nice that it has to go so close the wire (and considering the endemic fraud that's occured nationwide, if it's this close, I imagine he would win if everything was fair) and that he took the lead back at least for a second!

"shockingly", over half of the remaining precincts still out are in one county, a pro-Hillary county that will, as we know, suddenly find some Hillary votes.

Recount, probably.

I saw 99%+ in with Hillary up by 0.4%. Now I'm seeing 98% in with Hillary up by a full point.

Pike county was just adding the final votes. Bernie picked up another 2000 votes. Looks like this state is going to be about who gets the odd delegate in what could be termed a virtual tie.

she can beat Sanders in a southern state. What is amazing to me is how close it was. If you had asked me at the beginning of the year how well I thought Bernie would do in my birth state of Kentucky I would have honestly predicted he would be pommeled by Clinton.

This impresses upon me a couple of things. The incontrovertible truth that every vote counts, and just how far the Sanders campaign has come. It has been no small feat that he gains name recognition when the press keeps forgetting to mention his name. It has been a mountain to climb to fund a PRESIDENTIAL! campaign without the support of the "wealthy minority".

It's been said that it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game. Bearing that in mind Senator Bernie Sanders is playing better than any other player I've ever watched. And, if this were Survivor I'd cast my last tribal council vote for Bernie. Luckily it's not Survivor and I actually get to vote for him in 3 weeks.

PS. Would it be a good idea to start another diary for Oregon. This one is bogging down the site with is level of participation which is quickly approaching high velocity fabulosity!

is quite busy. Yay!

I doubt if Bernie's really getting 97% of the vote there.

for the night, post latest results from OR. I have to get to bed, but will check here early in the morning to see how it went.

Is this the first time that Kasich is beating Cruz?

Thank goodness

She's going to put the West Coast on her shit list.

they said Hillary would win by 15. AP calls it for Bernie.

Trump won Oregon (of course). Kasich and Cruz each garnered two delegates. Are they redeemable for any valuable prizes?

berniesanders: I would like to thank the people of Oregon, who volunteered many hours and stood together to fight against the Democratic establishment. Your support is invaluable, and I am grateful for the strong victory you’ve given us tonight! #FeelTheBern #NotMeUs

I tried, Bernie, I tried. All I could get was a provisional ballot... after 10 yrs of being registered as a Dem, our affiliation was changed mysteriously.

Well fought battles this Tuesday night.

I wonder what has happened to updating the Oregon results. It seems to be stuck at 75%. Bernie up 9 but I'd like to see how it ends up.
