News just said that polling data in Massachusetts shows Warren only received 7% of the vote of people who already had their mind made up. In her own state mind you 7%

I think that's been expected all along though, seems like the Texas race is whats most important. Bernie has been leading the recent polls in Texas according to RCP.

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.

She's not going to drop out until she talks to her big donors. That normally means the following morning at the earliest. They usually seem to have a conference call the morning after.

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.

I thought they want Trump to go against Sanders? Wouldn't they be voting for Sanders and not Biden (or one of the others?)? In Texas, that's not as much of an issue - too many down ballot races of note that I suspect the more populated areas at least are voting in the Republican primary. Alabama and North Carolina also have Senate races, so it's a dangerous move if too many Republicans vote in a Democratic primary.

CNN says Tulsi got 1 of the delegates for hitting viability.

Under current DNC rules anyone with at least 1 delegate qualifies for debates

So she'll stay in at least until the next debate.

Bloomberg is giving a speech on Fox now. He’s failing miserably on Super Tuesday, yet sounds like there are zero intentions to quit. Is he expecting Biden to not be able to continue and to swoop in as the eventual nominee? Or is he positioning himself to later run as an independent?

Bloomberg is actually doing better than I expected in some states tonight. He's tied with Sanders with 24 pct in Tennessee (Biden 23 pct) with 12 pct of vote counted, and he's also over 20 pct in Oklahoma and Texas. He did bomb in Virginia and North Carolina.

Warren is the one truly bombing - Massachusetts is her only state above 14 pct and she's third there with 21 pct. She has 14 pct in Oklahoma, which is another home state for her really.

If you look up the definition of astroturfing, you’ll find Mike Bloomberg’s picture as an example. Seems like the ROI is pretty poor so far.

Especially since his real purpose is to bash Trump and the President's approval ratings keep going up.

Biggest bullet point to me so far tonight is Bloomie's money isn't helping him much.

Based on what I’m seeing so far in the vote counts, Sanders is done. Right now there are only two candidates in this race - Bernie Sanders and Not Sanders. Not is going to be extremely difficult for Bernie to defeat.

I'm gonna send his arse a 'penny for thoughts' after tonight...

the dingos can't make it any easier....

Things trending much better in Texas, which makes me feel a lot better.

First Alabama Pub Senate Primary results coming in. If nobody gets 50%, it's a runoff between the top 2. Looks like Sessions could be in a runoff with either Tuberville or Bradley Byrne, a U.S. Rep.

Only 1% in, but it's a scattering across the state, and according to local news, probably a good representation.

Sessions 38%
Tuberville 28%
Byrne 22%
Moore 7%
Nelson 2%

AL.com is predicting a runoff between Sessions and Tuberville. At least the child molester will lose this time.

Also, Sessions, Tuberville and Byrne are all polling at 10% or more better than Doug Jones in head to head polls.

Sanders projected to win Colorado. And he's widening his lead in Texas. But Biden doing well overall (he could even sneak out a win in Minnesota of all places).

Bernie is going to end up with the most delegates unless there are multiple surprises in some of these northern states.

The polls and the early count have Bernie taking Texas right now.
