The way I see it

it is difficult for Bernie to pull a win in NY, unless an MI-like surprise is in the horizon. The most important thing to us should be for the loss to be a single digit loss. You might disagree with my assessment, but a single digit loss will give Bernie a big momentum for PA and other states where he is doing much better. The probability for a PA win is high, along with RI and CT wins.

I'm hoping and praying for a Bernie win. I believe in God, and I believe that God may answer my prayers (although I'm a sinful person lol).

My thoughts too. Obviously a win would be amazing, but as long as it is close, things look good. Svafa Apr 2016 #1

we stay to her in NYC the higher the chances for a win. Outside NYC is leaning Bernie. 50% of voters are outside NYC. Still I think it there is a low probability for winning.

We have been running the long shot all along, still a long shot but not as long as it was....

I want to totally agree with you...

But a loss today hurts badly. And there is not a high probability of a PA win. She is a big favorite on the betting sites right now. In fact she is favored in all 5 states next Tuesday and the odds go higher every day.

The clock is ticking and we need to make a move in delegates.

I will say that here in RI it will be close, but if it were today we would most likely fall short by a few points

Bernie chances for a win in PA are high, along with CT and RI. Look at the polls and the trends, and compare the polls one week before any primary and the results of those primaries and you will see what I'm seeing.

We both want the same thing though, so we have that going for us.

If you feel that way, I would toss some money on Bernie to win PA and CT as the odds are very high right now.

And I am on the ground canvassing in RI. I have pretty good handle on RI.
