Okay, I'm admittedly biased against Bernie's prospects, but I don't think it's unfair to be very skeptical of the idea that he can close a 20 point gap on caucus day within a matter of less than two months.

The 20 point gap is in SC, not NV.

aNYWAY,
tHAT'S REALLY ALL THERE IS,
tO REPORT ON THE SUBJECT,
oF ME GETTING HURT,



quote:

"Bernie identified it himself," said Tad Devine, a senior adviser to the campaign, adding that Sanders looked at a digital image of the photo. "He looked at it — he actually has his student ID from the University of Chicago in his wallet — and he said, 'Yes, that indeed is (me).'"

Perfect.

As for the GOP, I think I'm hoping for a surprise Trump boom, +37%, with a big logjam in the 17%-10% zone such that it's hard to really say anyone else distinguished themselves from the pack. Losing already hurts Cruz but if he's within orbit of the pack it's an actual defeat, and similarly even if Rubio comes out ahead of Jeb! and Kasich he needs to have enough headroom to make it look good. God help him if he's behind them, because after New Hampshire that'd probably destroy any attempt to consolidate the establishment behind him before Super Tuesday.

I'm not ready to see the madness of Trump, Republican Frontrunner end, and keeping the crabs in that bucket up to Super Tuesday is probably the way to guarantee chaos at the convention.

I was referring to the differences between the (sparse) polling being done in NV prior to the latest batch of polls this month -- Clinton had a +23 lead in December. CNN had her at +1 just two days ago. That's a lot of movement! I'm not so certain those numbers are going to be reflected on caucus night, though. If they are, then egg on my face :)

I think it's a pretty solid guess that Cruz outdoes Rubio in delegates.

Only 21 delegates are divided piecewise from the 7 voting districts, 3 to the plurality winner of each. It's entirely possible for a 3rd place finisher to win more delegates than 2nd, if his support is geographically concentrated in places where 1st/2nd are not strong. That's the weirdest thing about the SC primary; delegates assigned are completely independent from the vote ranking.

Except that the other 29 go to the statewide plurality winner, of course.

i think most of the republican primaries, or at least a large plurality, follow this model. some of them are winner-take-all, some of them proportional unless someone gets over 50%, and a million other variations, but however they divvy the delegates up within the different pools, this 3/district + X for the state model seems to be pretty common

The GOP nomination is practically a sealed deal already barring any last ditch ratcucking by the establishment because Trump has a head start on courting the racist Labor Aristocracy vote that none of the other guys are going to be able to catch up to.

The majority of them are proportional, either statewide or some-statewide-some-proportional-by-district-result, actually. (And many have a WTA threshold for a winner of 50% or more statewide.) Your site tells you how they're divided state vs. district but not how they're allocated within those categories. There's actually only 7 more states that are going to be winner-takes-all statewide and per-district.

I was just thinking this is why I'd bet hard on Clinton. "Are you likely to get wasted4bernie and not make it to the caucus site until 11:18 because you had to wake and bake" probably isn't a crosstab in any of these polls.

lagunitas also owns. never had the maximus before though. i'm spending my day doing brewery tours so i'm sure by the time results come in i'll be a (more) drunken mess than usual on election nights.
