1. .06% for O'Malley?! Good gracious...

[ucrdem]

2. Yeah it must be discouraging

but he must have known it was coming. It just wasn't his year I guess.

[wildeyed]

6. Maybe a VP nod?

I dunno. Kind of early to be thinking about that. But I did like his framing on immigration and poverty. He can look REALLY sincere and frame it convincingly as a moral issue. Which is what we need to do to make progress outside of our base on these issues.

3. NPR? I'm just watching their recorded reporting; totally in the tank

for Clinton.

4. NPR is full of shit. I'm sitting here watching this real time... 0.5, 0.4, 0.3 and NOW ITS

0.2!!!!!! FUCK YOU, NPR!

[ucrdem]

5. Yep it's tight.

7. the % doesn't matter as much as the delegates

and Sanders has 21 to Clinton's 19

8. "Still too close to call"

And another hour of coverage begins . . .

9. What horse shit, Mara... Did your corporate sponsors drop that hint for you?

It's a 0.2% difference with more delegates. That's pretty poor reporting, Mara!

[ucrdem]

10. She's giving her victory speech so hope it sticks.

Anyway props to Bernie and Martin for getting their ideas out.

NOTE: Democratic vote totals are “state delegate equivalents” — an estimated number of delegates that will be sent to county and state conventions to formally select the delegates who will represent Iowa and the winning candidates at the national convention. Democrats do not immediately report the raw vote and never report what share of the raw vote each candidate won.

Clinton by a hair unless Bernie goes to law. By tomorrow morning, who knows, but I think we had a good night.
