We know that voter suppression and outright fraud cannot possibly be decisively responsible for the result in these states because the researchers who do the polls that RealClear (RC) and Huffington Post (HP) include in their averages don’t suppress respondents in those polls. The signature of potential corruption would be to see Sanders doing much better in the polls than he ends up doing in the states–that would imply that people the pollsters invited to participate in the polls were then denied the vote in the election. But the data doesn’t look like that at all–Sanders tends to meet or exceed the poll projections. In Arizona, RC projected that Sanders would win 23%, HP projected he’d win 24%, and he went on to win nearly 40%, far in excess of what the polls projected. In New York, RC projected Sanders would get 41.4%, HP projected 41.6%, and Sanders got 42%. There is no large number of missing Sanders votes. For suppression and fraud to have been responsible for Clinton’s victories, there would need to be a massive conspiracy in which all the polling firms conspired with the DNC in each of the relevant states to produce misleading polls and then produce election results which fit those polls closely enough to avoid raising suspicion. A conspiracy of that kind is too large for anyone to logistically manage. It’s impossible to keep that many people quiet, and the polling firms are bound to have a certain number of employees who are pro-Sanders and would never participate in such a scheme without blowing the whistle.
Maryland, California, Connecticut, NJ are some of the richest states in the country, and they do skew older. Hillary has it. Pennsylvania is the one that Bernie has the highest chance of winning. The problem is that most of the Bernie supporters are the loudest but they are not registered to vote, and do not show up at the polls (as most young people always fail to do). Hillary has the silent majority.
Trust me, Bernie's highest chances seem to be Rhode Island (and later Indiana) from the April/May states (he could win outside of those states but those two are most likely). He doesn't stand a chance in PA

I agree with Rhode Island. It's an open primary and its whiteness. The fact that Hill won Massachusetts makes me think she might win RI. Regardless, it won't change the race.
At this point, Hillary needs to think very, very, very carefully about who her VP pick will be. The Republicans are playing no games, and already have the 100m dollar warchest ready for the swing state advertising. It looks like it will a Trump-Kasich ticket with the focus being on winning disgruntled Midwest-Rust Belt voters esp. in places like Ohio. I believe she needs a white male because she is losing badly with that demo. I think Sherrod Brown of Ohio is a good choice. He will be her Biden

It would Trump already has a large voter base and Kasich would pull in a lot of moderates imo
Just another reason why Hillary needs to pick a side and stop pandering to the middle
The more appropriate saying would have been, "They'd be competitive." Saying they'd be great makes it sound like that would be a team you'd like to vote for.
