2.4 million more there. Pretty soon it starts adding up to some real numbers.

But it got them like 1300 comments, so it's a roaring success, right?

They will continue to keep him relevant - debates, town halls, contested elections make for more vlewers and advertising dollars.

Just until the voters end it. The math!

Hopefully, tomorrow!

New York - give us a bern-crushing defeat!

The Super Delegate argument and whine is misplaced. Not only does Hillary have more votes (the 2.4 million that Silver notes) but her pledged delegate count is 2x higher than then candidate Obama had in 2008. All this nonsense that delegates will switch to St Bernard or that we're looking at a contested convention is sheer fantasy.

But the beat goes on. As well as those donations into St Bernard's coffers.

The State of New York throws a spiked gauntlet down tomorrow. Can't wait for the excuses and creative explanations. The math is hard, even cruel but this primary has reached its mathematical conclusion, as in Hillary wins the nomination and we prepare for what will undoubtedly be an ugly but successful General.

I say undoubtedly successful because the alternative is unthinkable.
