So does Warren stay in because she is taking voters from Bernie?

She stays in because she loves the sound of her own voice.

It will be interesting to see to what extent Trump's tweets and his bot farm lead the cheers for Bernie tonight.

Biden seems to have gotten a little bit of a bump after S. Carolina. The California poll is interesting because while it shows Bernie winning, it is close with Biden, Warren and Bloomberg all above the threshold to claim delegates. If Bernie doesn't clean up in CA, and Biden wins in several states it's likely Sanders won't have the most delegates after today.

I’ve been pestered with text messages from the various campaigns, all expect Biden. It’ll be interesting to see how he does in Utah.

Wow, total flip on Biden's and Sanders' positions in 24 hours. Everyone else dead in the water.

Obviously I'll vote early and enthusiastically for whomever lands on the ticket, but Warren is the only one whose platform has resonated at all with me. Bernie has said some encouraging things, Biden has too, I guess-- although I feel like he's playing it extra safe and that's not too reassuring. I need someone who will come out swinging in the debates and campaign intelligently and tirelessly until November. Unfortunately I would only trust Warren to do that, too...

I just voted against Bernie and Warren. I hope it’s the last time I have to do that.

I would be thrilled to see Biden over Bernie, but part of me would love to see a Bernie vs. Trump debate.

A bernie vs trump campaign would be amazing to watch. But the downside of a Bernie nomination is too great. Not only would trump get a landslide victory but the democrats would permanently reset around the extreme left. Neither of those are good for america.

same. I held my nose and voted for Bloomberg. Almost voted for Biden but he just bugs me and seems senile.

I also wonder to what extent time zones affect things. Two of the key states to close earliest in the evening are Virginia and N. Carolina at 7 ET. If Biden comes out strong in both of those, does it help him in western states that will have their polls open for 3 more hours?

Pocahontas would get her butt kicked. No one likes her or her policies. Go Mike! or Go Joe! Both would be fine presidents, the bar is so low at this point. Bloomberg v Trump would be very entertaining.

I would be interested in hearing what about her platform resonates with you.

You realize that's a bigoted term, right? And uh... what about Trump makes you think he could articulate anything about anything? You think he's going to really sting her about the cancer that windmills produce? If Warren made Bloomberg look like a child, you think Trump stands a chance?

I was going to make some joke about how much he has in student loans.
