Hillary won southern states that don't matter a hill o' beans in the GE.
Massachusetts? Dems win that state regardless.

(13,776 posts)A 6-5 night would have felt a little warmer and fuzzier than a 7-4 one. Especially since so many of Hillary's wins were bam-bam-bam in a row, early in the night, in Eastern time zones... she seemed to be rolling right over him, when in fact she did no such thing, but people who went to bed earlier than now will still come away with that impression.
But that's okay! Most of the South is over and done now, and things will be more competitive from here on out.
NYT hasn't called it yet. It's actually tightening.
I doubt Bernie will do it, but it's not over yet.
