Didn't Hillary gain less delegates than predicted last night

1. Dunno, but if she hadn't gained a single delegate last night, she would still be far, far ahead. nt

2. Not sure. Huge night for her no matter what the predictions.

Solid wins. How many more people voted for her last night and how many more delegates did she receive than Sanders last night?

3. "Fewer". And no.

Both the RI and DE polls were out of date, so there were no good indications of how they would go. She won DE by more than expected and Bernie won RI which there were no good numbers on.

MD, PA, and CT went as expected.

15. Thank you.

I can easily overlook typos, misspellings and homonym misuse ... but some things are so awful that it makes my teeth hurt.

16. Less/fewer and "it's" are my two breaking points.

And we've had both of them in OP titles today.

4. No she did rather well.

5. She met or exceeded all her target according to 538

APRIL 26 Delegates Actual/Target
Connecticut 55 27/27
Delaware 21 12/11
Maryland 95 61/53
Pennsylvania 189 94/93
Rhode Island 24 11/11

6. Nope. She increased her margin above her targets.

She's now at 107% of the targets, and Bernie is now at 90%. The margin for meeting targets is getting larger.

7. No...

She's +10 against the expectation, and not all delegates have been allocated.

8. Well, she can afford it.

We can gripe all we want about how much Sanders would have done had he begun sooner, but the primary's this year. If he can't win, he'll just have to be content t o s n ow up at the convention with a fuck ton of delegates.

Almost as though he wanted to help shape the party platform or something.

9. No, she either met or surpassed her targets.

10. She gained more than predicted.

[Godhumor]

11. The over/under was +50

She will end up 60+.

[Skink]

12. But she still can't clinch with pledged delegates

[Demsrule86]

14. Of course she can

That is is how Obama clinched. She was much closer to Obama than Sanders is to her. The supers vote for the one with the most delegates...they announce it before the convention...pledge. It is over. We do not have contested conventions.

[Demsrule86]

13. No

It was thought that Sanders would win Connectiuct...but he lost the Fairfield area due to Sandy Hook in my opinion.

[Nye Bevan]

17. Ummm, yes, yesterday was an utter catastrophe for her.

Bernie really has her on the ropes.

[DCBob]

18. Bernie won... right?

[Codeine]

19. She beat every prediction or benchmark I saw.

Where exactly do you guys concoct these goofball talking points? She worked Bernie like a rented mule last night.
