Joe Biden, whose campaign was moribund three weeks ago, now leads in delegate counts. |
Joe Biden had an outstanding night in the Super Tuesday II Democratic primaries.
Minutes after the Missouri and Mississippi polls closed, the contests were called by AP for Biden.
This was followed not long after by Michigan. Idaho came in much later -- for Biden.
North Dakota and Washington State will not be called tonight. North Dakota has mixed caucus and primary voting. Washington State is all mail-in ballots. These are the only two that may break for Sanders.
The delegate counts won't be known until the polls are 100% reported, but Biden has taken on a lead that may be impossible for Sanders to catch up to.
Reporters covering the exit polls were finding that Sanders' youth base failed to materialize in large numbers for him and that he had failed to grow his coalition -- both keys to a path forward for him.
I can understand if Bernie wants to hang on through the next debate and the next couple of primaries, but if they don't go his way, he needs to consider bowing out graciously.
