Traverse City is not a place to be from. It's a place to go to. It's just beautiful up there. nt

Bernie's lead has gone up - I'm sure CNN is stalling, trying to figure out how to minimize.

Wayne County just flipped towards Hillary, and Flint is going 2:1 for Hillary.

Because it doesn't make any difference...even if he wins by 10%, Hillary will still add to her

Hillary is running out of firewall. Once Bernie gets past it all bets are off.

Bernie will win unless she gets a much bigger lead in Wayne Co. - I don't see that happening.

it's weird how a win by .1% and a loss by .1% would have such different impacts

Wayne is troubling. They're 50% in and she's up around 24,000 votes there. n/t

That's IF its accurate.. I saw their exit polls earlier and thought it looked like a Sanders win.

There are a lot of voters in Wayne, and a huge percentage of Michigan's Dem. voters.

between four counties, they said there still could be 160-200 K votes not counted. WOW.

It doesn't look like there is enough votes in Wayne to pull it out for her.

low population areas. No matter what happens it shouldn't have much effect.

Even with a similar Wayne county bump (it's at 56% w/ 24k lead) it's unlikely that would swing it.
