Sen. Bernie Sanders scored victories in the Democratic caucuses in Washington, Alaska and Hawaii on Saturday, three Western-states contests that the independent senator from Vermont had been favored to win.

During an address in Wisconsin, Sanders thanked Alaska for “a resounding victory.” He claimed strong momentum in Washington state.

“We knew things would begin to improve when we moved west,” a smiling Sanders said to huge applause. The Washington results came in as he spoke, and he drew a deafening cheer when he read the news aloud.

“That is what momentum is about!” Sanders shouted.

I love the fact that he's at least making HRC uncomfortable with his wins. I don't know exactly how things will pan out but I see another win in Bernie's future within the next 10 days. Even though I don't agree with the tone of most articles/op-eds, I do agree that he has won in states where minorities don't have a strong presence.

Well, if he somehow manages to win a big portion of the remaining contests, it wouldn't be enough, and Hillary still has a big chunk of the superdelegates that will tip the balance on her favor. And , just for the sake of argument, let's say that he does win many of the future contests, it would have to be by big margins which seems very unlikely.
