Everyone should know that we're as excited about our governor being named Butch Otter as you are.

Another possibility

quote:

CLARE MALONE 10:56 PM
We’re still waiting on the Michigan Dems’ side of the results, where the race is looking unexpectedly close between Clinton and Sanders. Exit polls coming out of the state are showing that about four in 10 Democrats said that electability and experience were most important to them — those people leaned Clinton — and six in 10 said honesty or empathy were most important, and those are people who have tended toward the Sanders side of the equation.

This, from our friends at ABC News, is interesting: “Eight in 10 voters in the Democratic contest in Michigan were more interested in an experienced candidate than in an outsider,” and although in the past Clinton has won this group by seven out of 10, her share in Michigan of this demographic is “just more than half” right now.

Could it be that some “main line” Michigan Dems — the exit polls say that seven out of 10 voters in the primary identify this way — decided that Clinton probably had things sewn up and decided to go with bit of a “heartstrings vote” in the form of Sanders? Maybe.

Sanders is the candidate of progressive ideas and Hillary is the candidate of cold electoral math. Why can the drat millennials get excited about her campaign?

How about people just say Sanders is the choice of more people instead of saying Clinton voters didn't show up. Sanders is preferred in Michigan and surveys suck these days since people decided to use more cell phones over land lines.

basically, Trump appealed to voting base whose identity is felt to be under threat from islam, and that base, which has traditionally turned out Democratic, was pushed over the edge by Sanders' rhetoric to back Trump.

Do pollsters still just use landlines? I haven't known anyone with a landline other than my inlaws in years.

actually the fact that people are remarking about how unusually badly the polls missed this one is pretty good proof that polls are generally fairly reliable
