How sweet it is. As a number of analysts have argued Bernie needed to win Nevada as it gave him the best shot at winning a diverse state.

At this point NBC, ABC, and Fox News have projected Hillary the winner:
"Clinton Projected To Win Nevada, Bolstering Her Argument For Diverse Appeal."
"Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is projected to defeat Sen. Bernie Sanders in Saturday’s Nevada caucus, a crucial win for the former first lady as she seeks to prove that she has a broader appeal in diverse electorates than the democratic socialist from Vermont. Her victory was projected by Fox News and NBC News at 5:15 p.m."
"The final days before the caucus became a mad dash between the two candidates to shore up support, particularly among Nevada’s Latino community, which makes up about a quarter of the state's population. Clinton made bold statements about immigration -- promising that she would push reform legislation in her first 100 days in office -- at Thursday’s MSNBC town hall. Both campaigns also trotted out the endorsements they received from activists from the immigration reform movement.
Unions also played a major role in get out the vote efforts. While Clinton has snagged the endorsement of some prominent national unions, the state’s biggest player, the culinary workers union Local 226, opted to not take sides in the Democratic primary. (In 2008, the culinary workers endorsed Obama) Sanders, meanwhile, got in trouble with Local 226 when campaign operatives were caught posing as union reps to gain access to workers."
"The pressure was on Clinton to win the state because its diverse electorate was supposed to act as a firewall to head off Sanders' momentum coming out Iowa, where he essentially tied with Clinton, and New Hampshire, where he won in a landslide. Sanders’ strong performance in the state—which has a large Latino electorate, but also sizeable Asian and black populations—may mean Clinton will be vulnerable in the primary states that follow, where her campaign had argued she could count on minority voters."
"Because Nevada is a difficult state to poll and has hosted only one Democratic early state caucus before, Saturday’s results were relatively unpredictable when compared to the more established contests in New Hampshire and Iowa."
"The terrain doesn’t get any easier for Sanders as the race heads to next Saturday’s primary in South Carolina, where less than half of the Democratic electorate was white in 2008. Clinton has counted African Americans as among her strongest supporters, and recently received the endorsements of Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) and the PAC for the Congressional Black Caucus."
