[Loudestlib]

3. Or running.

4. She's in Appalachia promising out of work

coal miners that they are not forgotten and do have a future.

As Fun N Serious says, Indiana is difficult to poll. It's a mainly white state with an open primary, Bernie advantages, but the main point is that he would have to win an AVERAGE of 80% of all pledged delegates in the primaries from Indiana on to win, which is effectively impossible.

That he won't concede is a problem for Hillary, who really needs to give the GE everything she has, so she has made the decision to not spend any more money on the primaries and to devote most of her time to winning the presidency and downticket races for the Democrats.

That doesn't mean she won't be in the states that haven't held primaries yet. They all will be voting in their primaries and then in the general, after all. It just means that Bernie will be fighting those primaries mostly alone while she fights the GOP.

6. Yes

Funny how that gets negative responses here from some.

11. My own response to losing politically,

besides that sick feeling, is to go away for a while, stop reading and paying attention, until I regain my balance and am ready to move on. I'm guessing a lot are in their own version of that unpleasant fugue, plus the usual of course.

2. Indiana was hard if not impossible to poll

They have a robo call block law. I suspect republican women are voting?

5. crossover independent voters going for Bernie because he would be easier matchup in the fall?

i agree with the unpredictability

[fun n serious]

10. It should not be this close

given the time, money and demographics that all favor Bernie.

[RandySF]

7. Bernie isn't even there.

[Dem2]

8. Why is Bernie is KY?

It appears he's going to win - why isn't he in Indiana?

[Contrary1]

12. He can be in Indiana from Louisville in about 10 minutes. n/t

[JesterCS]

13. Half hour south or west for me and I can be in IN or KY n/t

[JaneyVee]

9. Probably the same reason she spent $0 in Indiana.
