What Went Down In Michigan, Washington And Other Democratic Primaries

Sanders’s promise to turn out young voters like never before is also interesting, Clare, because it seemed to be the campaign’s main answer to the electability question.

The Sanders promise to turn out the youth vote is such an interesting one. It was always going to be a challenge, but I think it was great PR for the campaign; the political revolution starting with young voters. But, of course, young voters have historically been super hard to turn out. It’s sort of trying to recapture the Obama wave, I think, of which a lot of Democratic voters have fond recollections.

Our friends at Edison Research have 89 percent of precincts reporting in Kalamazoo County in western Michigan, and they show basically a tied race there between Biden and Sanders at 48 percent apiece. This is bad news for Sanders — he beat Clinton 61 percent to 38 percent in Kalamazoo four years ago.
