Sanders wins in Wisconsin

Tuesday's victory by Sanders gives his presidential campaign further momentum after a series of wins over Democrat Hillary Clinton.

He will also get a solid boost heading into the delegate-rich New York primary on April 19.

Sanders told a Wyoming audience on Tuesday night that he thinks his recent momentum could translate into more superdelegates, who are free to support whichever candidate regardless of who wins their state, flocking to his campaign.

"I think a lot of these superdelegates are going to be saying which candidate has the momentum, which one brings out huge numbers," Sanders said.

Heading into Tuesday's contest, polls showed Sanders ahead by a slim margin. And one of the state's top pollsters, Charles Franklin, who runs the Marquette Law School poll, projected Sanders to win by 4 percentage points.

win New York because it is a closed primary. That way independents can't go in there messing stuff up.

Because NYers are tired of the same old crap H is offering. The Democrats in NY will carry Bernie to an historic win. Might as well join now because you know it is inevitable. Don't worry about the laughter from the H camp, they will be joining you at the Bern-fire soon enough.

First, keep telling yourself that. I know you Hillary fanatics need something to cheer you up right now.

Second, she will need independents to win the GE. Good luck with that.

But I think Bernie gets the upset win in NY. We'll just have to wait and see.
