In case anyone is interested in the delegates gained tonight (rather than states) [View all]
Although we all get into the excitement of winning and losing states, the Democratic nomination is apparently to be decided by delegates, not by number of states won. Winning a state by a couple of percentage points does not net you a lot more delegates. And in fact you could come out 'winning' a state but getting fewer delegates, due to the algorithms different states use. Here are numbers I have found so far, on Green Papers:
. . . . Clinton . . . Sanders FL___93_______57 NC___61______46 OH__78_______65 IL___43_______49 MO__31_______34 ___________________ ___306_______251 So looks like Clinton will increase her lead by about 50 or 60 delegates, not quite the wipeout that some people are trying to make it seem like. Interesting to me is that Sanders may come out of Illinois with more delegates than Hillary despite that we will be told he 'lost' that state. edit to add: and apparently we will also be told she 'won' Missouri, although it looks like Sanders will get more delegates!
