BREAKING NEWS: Per Associated Press Data (2:35AM EST) It Appears Certain Elizabeth Warren Will Reach Viability in As Many or More States Than Bloomberg; Warren to Achieve Viability in 5 States, Bloomberg in 4 (5 If He Stops His Current Slide in California) apps.npr.org/liveblogs/2020…
PS/ Days ago the RCP polling averages had Bloomberg polling in the top three in 16 states total; Warren was top three in only 7 states. Super Tuesday's results constitute a significant reversal between the candidates, possibly attributable to Warren's debate attacks on Bloomberg.
PS2/ Bloomberg's California slide continues—he's at 16.5% now, down from 16.8% minutes ago, and the slide has been ongoing for a couple hours. With just 39% of California in, it seems increasingly likely he'll be south of 15% by the time California is done counting days from now.
PS3/ To clarify my initial post, I was only speaking of Super Tuesday states. Because Warren was viable in Iowa, she's now guaranteed to get delegates in more States than Bloomberg in the Democratic primaries—a development in the Warren-Bloomberg side-tilt that will satisfy many.
PS4/ (Bloomberg riled many—many—Warren supporters this morning by pretending to not know Warren was still running in the Democratic primary. Whatever happens with either of the two candidates, Elizabeth Warren appears to have come out on top in their personal political struggle.)
