Going by oddschecker, Sanders is still 4/1 for the nomination. I'm beginning to think that there's some value there.
The fly in the ointment is that the next two rounds will go against him. He can write a loss in South Carolina off as long as he doesn't do too badly but Super Tuesday will be harder given the number of states up then. However, he could take a majority of states up in the two rounds following on shortly thereafter (i.e. two of three), which would keep him in the game.
Hillary still ought to do it but frankly she ought to be out of sight by now. As it is, she's looking at the very real possibility of having lost two of the first three states and only just scraped the other. Is that really form to give her four shots in five?

Lets wait. I'm not convinced that Sanders will win Nevada.

We once had an incensed comment from a customer who couldn't access a beta site. This was taken really seriously and raised at a high level as it was suggestive of a major compatibility flaw. On further investigation we all decided it was remarkable he was able to access the post mosaic Internet given his early 90s OS.
So far 112/1022 reporting Clinton 421 / 55% to Sanders 349 / 45% if that gap remains her lead increases. Sanders to win needs to be narrowing that lead.

Edited extra bit: for those unaware, it was a short-lived BBC sci-fi programme. Shame, as most of the ingredients were good, but the plots were less than stellar.
No heir to Heath. And will be regarded as such forever more.
Heath was awesome. Took Middlesbrough out of Yorkshire.
Another of the criminal acts he committed!!! Messing with the county boundaries is almost a greater crime than selling us out to the EU.
Can we agree that he was right to sack Powell after that speech that increased attacks on non whites?
Yes he was right to sack Powell. I won't go into a detailed nuanced discussion about why as I am sure Isam will disagree but Heath had no choice to sack him and was right to do so even if he did have a choice.
I think that will be the result in both cases, but I think Clinton will beat Trump by less than 1% and Remain will win by no more than 52%-48% so plenty to play for yet!
BTW Mr Tyndall I've only just heard within the last hour my Norweigan resident brother in law tell me that 'we are not in the EU but we do all they tell us'. I'll grant you some modest hyperbole.
Fortunately your Norwegian Brother in Law is wrong. But then whether it is Norway, the UK, France or Outer Mongolia there is usually a big divide between public perceptions and reality.
It's a sod, the public having a vote.
Not at all. It just means we have to persuade them. Of course in the case of Norway the Government dearly wishes the public didn't have the vote because every time they ask the EU question they get beaten.
The Norweigan people keep voting in governments that apply EU regulations and edicts even though they are not in the EU. Norway, not in the EU, has had to act despite being in Schengen to bring in controls to halt Syrian immigrants. But only at the moment for 20 days. This is because EU Sweden chose to bring in border controls. Non EU Norway has had thousands of Syrian immigrants. In recent times some 29,000 asylum seekers have entered Norway. Russia as not been helpful.
Actually I agree with almost everything you say there but don't quite get your point.
Norway as a country is rather like me as a person as far as the questions of the EU and immigration go. Anti-EU, pro moderate immigration. Whilst I dislike many things about Norway their amazing ability to integrate and nationalise immigrants is enviable and one I wish we could achieve. One of the strange things about the Anders Brevik thing was his claims about the evils of multicultralism. Norway is perhaps the most un-multicultural country in Europe. They do everything they can to try and make sure their immigrants integrate, learn the language and customs and become thoroughly Norwegian.
So as I say, Norway is a great example to us in many ways. And they vote against the EU at every opportunity.

Did they only phone those in the phone book with the surname Farage?
?? It's a huge Remain lead. I do despair of the British people sometimes. The proles are obviously absurdly grateful to Cameron for championing our right to donate money to Polish kids (in Poland) at THE LOCAL RATE.
People obviously think Dave got a cracking deal then.
I think it's like getting a small money-off coupon (tiny in this case) for a purchase you were already going to make. It's a little win. As it happens it's no win at all, but there we go.
Tim Shipman @ShippersUnbound Cameron says sceptics are misleading public on immigration. They must spell out what out looks like. See Sunday Times splash.

Yes, I am a browser snob. But you would be too if you'd spent 2 years with web developers.
We have a realistic possibility of the US presidential election being fought between a socialist and Donald Trump.

I think I might be spoiling my ballot paper, or maybe even removing the 'p' from spoiling.
I wonder if a win for Bernie in Nevada might get him to run.

But there is a moral dilema here. Should freedom allow one the freedom to blow your brains out.
Am I safe?
Clark County population is 2.03m. Nevada in total is 2.83m
Clinton leads in Clark 54/46 with 13% counted. Clark will overwhelm the rest.

On an entirely unrelated note, it's possible I'll have two books coming out in the same week (one's an anthology, but still).

Tempted to call for Clinton but i'll wait for 300+ in - voting started late and that could be due to Sanders supporters turning out.

As I said, Dave preaching economic security is a real vote winner.
Yay!

Or they've switched from online to phone polling.
Survation do both online and phone poll so the Mail on Sunday survey could be either
