    Evening all.

    Evening StJohn - Any antepost for Cheltenham ?

    I've got Vautour and Don Poli from a year back in the Gold cup xD !
    Hi Pulpstar.

    The only Cheltenham antepost bet I've placed is Coneygree. Now sadly injured and a non runner.

    :-(
    Ouch. I had an entire £1 on him last year in the GC but his run was so amazing I didn't care that I'd backed for such a tiny amount. It was a great race.

    NH predicts : Bernie by 20, Trump by 10 (MOE +/- 3)

    If true, that sounds like good news for the second placed candidate with probably between 18% - 20% of the vote ..... but who will it be (as if we don't know)?
    If Trump only wins by 10, it's because he's got 26%
    Someone 20, Trump 30
    Agree though for Someone i'd put in Kasich.

    Trump 30 Kasich 20 Cruz, Rubio, Bush 10s Chris 8

    Reading the exit runes Bernie clearly a big win and seeing the ad spend and Hillary changing her campaign staff I'm think 20% blow out. Exits look good for Trump - I was worried about his turnout operation but the exits breakdowns show he's going to win 10% is a good result for him. Cruz looks good for 3rd with Kasich 2nd. Rubio needs to be at least 4th to carry on and that's between him and Bush. Christie wont feature but will stay in so he can be at the next debate and do over Rubio again - he really hates Rubio.

    I do hope Chris Christie stays in. He's amazing on a debate stage. And a clear lay at 65.
    Agreed.

    Kasich strikes me as a more articulate version of Andy Burnham (for droning on about Ohio see droning on about Liverpool) I think both Kasich and Christie are after a VP slot.

    Trump / Kasich makes Ohio GOP. Trump / Christie makes great entertainment. Both beat Hillary.

    I don't expect him to be far short of 30% if at all - that 10% lead strongly suggests something close to 30% vs 20% for the two front runners ..... run the numbers for yourself.

    Independents who are 40-45% give him 29%, but he gets slightly more from republicans.
    I think he will get in the exit poll somewhere around 29-31%, around the polling average.

    Who's second though, and how low will Rubio go?

    Isn't this all hinting at a better-than-expected night for Cruz?

    Just taken a bit of 22.0 on Cruz for Prez.

    Having somewhat screwed up my position earlier, I've been doing a bit of rebalancing in the last couple of weeks and I think I'm OK. My worst scenarios are Rubio Rep Nom and Sanders Prez.

    There are rumors reported on the news networks of a major shake up in the Clinton campaign this week. There is apparently concern over the lack of a coherent message.

    Two developments in the Clinton email investigation today.

    Firstly a federal judge rejected the State Depts request to delay further Clinton email releases for a month.

    Secondly the FBI informed the State Dept that it cannot release Hillary related documents requested by State because it would "interfere with an ongoing investigation".

    Bernie Sanders is developing a southern strategy. He is having breakfast with Al Sharpton tomorrow.

    If it does seem like ~30% for Trump, then that still suggests he could be very vulnerable in future primaries IF the anti-Trump vote consolidates behind one candidate.

    That's a very big "if" though, especially after Rubio's "these strikes are WRONG" moment.

    IMO, not enough attention has been paid to Sanders' chances in the Rust Belt states.

    I think he could have a good chance of besting Hillary in the likes of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ohio, since he now seems to be making big inroads into the white low-income vote.

    I'm more concerned about the assault on my senses once SC and NV have had their primary and caucus, and the focus turns to the S.E.C. Primary, which puts me right in the crosshairs.

    On the other hand I'm looking forward to going to several events.

    Once we get to the SEC Primary with blacks and hispanics, Hillary will clean up big time. Her only threat is the Feds.

    Good for Bernie
    Poorish but tolerable for Hillary
    If those are the results, Rubio will be very close to the end of his campaign, we are talking 1% away from Bush and 5th place.

    Bernie Sanders is developing a southern strategy. He is having breakfast with Al Sharpton tomorrow.

    Al's not very southern though, is he? A bit 'New York' for yer'average South Carolinan, no? Good bloke, though, and, yes, I have met him.
    I've met him too. A more odious tax evading race hustler you could not imagine.

    No dispute there, but there aren't many better ways of spending an hour than arguing the toss with the Rev.

    So we still don't actually have the CNN exit poll, only this mysterious one? I see Cruz has shot in from 7 to 2 on the "win without Trump" Betfair exchange - I got £20 at 7 before that happened.

    Trump won every crossbreak according to DDHQ, Sanders won every one except 75+.

    Where can I find the cross breaks? We should compare them to the exit polls earlier
    In the subscribers' email. Too much to copy/paste, I'm afraid.

    Seeing those lines at polling stations and traffic queues as folk try and vote in the snow, it's great to see democracy in action. Whatever views we disagree on seeing people exercise their franchise is a wonderful thing.

    Would you favour primaries in the UK?
    Open Primaries like in NH and like in Totnes (for Conservatives) yes very much. I think it would benefit our democracy - both in terms of participation in the democratic process and in terms of quality of candidate.

    Do you have an insight into particular districts (genuine question)? Or it that if any district gives Trump 50%+ that must be good?

    This 'heading towards a record turnout' do we know what side this is on? Presumably it's GOP rather than Dem (cant see Dem turnout being higher than 2008)? Or is it overall? Any ideas?

    Romney in 2012 got 50%+ there, Hillary got 57% in 2008.

    Suggests the official exit polls will show Sanders a little bit worse. Fingers crossed (for £20)
