Bernie had a huge rally on Washigton Sq in Manhattan yesterday, I'm going to be in that same spot this weekend the day before the primary, I'm excited.
Too bad none of the independents can vote for him. Does anyone know about the statistics for independent voters in NY? Do they actually make up much of the electorate?
Hillary had a rally in Brooklyn instead and yeahh I don't think Bernie is coming anywhere near to her here. Hope the loss isn't too bad.

Poor sis.
. I think his stance on Israel hurts him a tad (and kind of like the black vote, the Jewish voting bloc is very happy with the Clintons).
