It's not really important in the big scheme of things, as it is a proportional system on the Dem side.
But Hillary not only has won Illinois now to go with her strong wins in Florida, NH, and Ohio, but somehow in the final 20 percent of the vote in Missouri came back from 3 points down to win Missouri.
Wow. Kind of puts an exclamation point on the night. He can say he will keep running but he's down 350 delegates-not including the SDs. There are going to be calls for him to get out. Yes, there was 2008, but Obama never led her by even half this amount.
Maybe, he wins Utah and Idaho next week, but those are small states. Even if he were to win NY and California-which I'm far from sold that he will, she would still get hundreds of delegates pushing her ever closer to 2382.
"Hillary slams the door on Bernie."
Ohio was the wild card win that allows Clinton to shift her gaze forward.

It's interesting how Bernie is the one who ended up outspending her. Maybe he was wrong and money isn't everything.

I had said that all she needed was the blowout in Florida, and the big win in NC to cement her delegate lead. True, but Ohio enables her to argue that the race is over.
"But if Florida was a bonanza that widened the delegate gap between them, Ohio was the wild card win that allowed Clinton to shift her gaze forward -- her 13-point victory represented a staggering blow to Sanders, who was not able to translate his economic message and opposition to foreign trade deals into success in Ohio and Illinois. In the other industrial Midwestern states to vote Tuesday, Sanders held a slight lead in Missouri with 98 percent of the vote in.

Look at it this way, Hillary lovers, at this point they are showing her with 1561 delegates and Bernie with 800. I don't believe they've tabulated all of them yet. But even from here she has 66 percent of the needed delegates.
There are 2400 delegates left, so from here for him to reach 2382, he'd need 1582 of the 2400 which is 66 percent. He has to win two thirds of the remaining delegates. For her, she needs just 821 out of 2400, just about a third of them.
