They actually have Bernie winning California, Minnesota, Vermont, Maine, Colorado and Utah, Warren winning Massachusetts, and Biden winning the rest (Texas, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas and Oklahoma). I'm not sure I believe whether they're a reputable polling group or not - I find it hard to believe Biden would win Texas for instance. But it does provide some interesting numbers to keep in mind.
Some of the states close their polls in just a few minutes.
Here's an article on some of the more interesting downballot races to watch (Alabama Republican Senate primary being one of them). It's not on the list but Texas House Seat 22 is going to be super interesting on the Republican side too.

The Biden camp is probably doing some serious fist pumping over that one. Bernie has been leading in those polls.
He needs more upsets like that, and he needs to win Texas.
Once the DNC rallied around Biden it was over in VA. It doesnt get anymore establishment Dem than the those VA suburbs of DC. They want a "moderate" who can beat Trump
Warren speaking already - I'm thinking she's also quitting the race. The big question is who does she support?
ETA - might be a little premature. It just appears to be a regular stump speech in Michigan. I still think she's getting out but maybe not until later in the week? Unless California gives her a major bump, she's done.

Biden is going to clean Bernie's clock in the South. There are a lot of Southern primaries tonight so unless Bernie can win YUUUGGEEE in CA and look good in TX it's going to be Biden with a lot of momentum and turning this into a 1-1 race, which means no brokered convention
Bloomberg wins American Samoa! And its 6 delegates. Of course that was a given after he received the endorsement of Samoan Chief Fa’alagiga Nina Tua’au-Glaude (also known as the Samoan Jim Clyburn) ahead of Super Tuesday.
ETA - actually he wins 4 of the 5 delegates. Tulsi Gabbard was 2nd in Samoa and gets 1 delegate!

it's always been a coin flip how it progresses going into July....
the only question is if #sloeJoeTimeAgain going into July, does the bern, burn the donks announcing 3rd party, or do the li'l biatches cry and stay home???
either way, I don't see how it matters unless DJT gets assassinated, or completely screws the pooch with mo' yammer.....I easily see neither happening.....Parscale has him on the short leash and potty mouth trained in the 'right' way....
I can't help but laugh at this bs....

Texas might be the story of the evening. Supposedly huge lines in Texas all day though so I have to think that's good news for Sanders.
Folks need to realize, but I doubt the press will acknowledge it, but a lot of Southern Republicans voted in the Democratic primary against Sanders. Trump was virtually unopposed in the Southern primaries so relative voter turnout for Dems there is a % of those who won't be voting dem in November.
