The question I am asking myself now is whether this means the polls are off in other Midwestern states that are holding open primaries. I’m talking specifically about Illinois and Ohio, both of which vote next Tuesday. The FiveThirtyEight polling average in Illinois gives Clinton a 37 percentage point lead, while the average in Ohio gives her a 20 percentage point lead. If Michigan was just a fluke (which is possible), then tonight will be forgotten soon enough. If, however, pollsters are missing something more fundamental about the electorate, then the Ohio and Illinois primaries could be a lot closer than expected.

mk - Even FiveThirtyEight is stunned. pseudo science. Bernie has a real shot.

After talking with mk and others about this election, it generally comes down to people liking Bernie's integrity but frightened that he will be unable to do what he wants or that he is incapable of being prez.

Obama was similarly idealistic. Perhaps not as revolutionary, but still he was idealistic. He had FAR less experience in politics and still... the country is not just standing but many would argue that it's far better off for having him as president. I think Bernie would do a fine job. He's a smart man, pragmatic and thoughtful. I also think the transparency that was promised to us with Obama would actually happen with Bernie.

I'm a fan. I'm gonna send him a few bucks.
