Bernie's shot is in Rhode Island which accrording to Benchmark Politics is a very close race-they have Hillary up by .25 percent.
Overall, the Clinton team is very optimistic:
"Clinton’s top aides are confident they will win at least four of five states tonight, eyeing RI as Sanders’ best chance."

It looks like she could be poised to do very well in Pennsylvania-perhaps outperforming demographics in the state. Her internal polling seems to be telling her something like that as she will be in the state tonight for a big-victory-speech. Bill will be there again like in NY.
As for Bernie it seems he may take an after the night assessment though Jane Sanders was very insistent that they aren't getting out after tonight.
The Hillary team won't urge him to get out but they are reminding everyone that the math is pretty much nonexistent after tonight.
"If Bernie Sanders loses all five states up for grabs and falls further behind Hillary Clinton in the pledged delegate count, the Democratic front-runner's chief strategist said Tuesday that Sanders has a "virtually impossible" task in front of him."
"Right now, Hillary Clinton with five contests tonight which we’re working very hard to win," chief pollster and strategist Joel Benenson told MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports." "We believe we are going to expand our lead in pledged delegates."
He continued, "It’s going to, you know, make it virtually impossible for Senator Sanders to catch us after this as the nominee."
"Referring to Sanders' comments at an MSNBC town hall the previous night in which he said he would work to prevent a Republican from being elected president, Benenson remarked that if the Vermont senator "stays true to his words last night, then he will be out there helping the nominees."
"But those are his decisions to make," Benenson said. "We are confident that Hillary Clinton will be at the top of the ticket leading the Democratic Party in November and in a spirited race against Mr. Trump, be elected president of the United States."

At the end of the day, Hillary got behind Obama in 2008. Bernie needs to get that you don't get to write the party platform when you finish second.
Input is one thing, but you don't write it.
