In 2008, Barack Obama caught Clinton’s presidential campaign off balance by running up its delegate totals in caucus states – a mistake that Clinton’s team has vowed it will not repeat.
“Tonight here in SC the message is pretty clear”.
But, Nelsen said, the support from those students will probably not be enough for Sanders to overcome Clinton’s edge with African-American voters.
He ticked off five Super Tuesday states in which he said he has “a good shot” on March 1: Colorado, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, and his home state of Vermont. But in a continuing sign of her vulnerability, Sanders did best with voters looking for a candidate who is caring and honest.

But a low 80,000 Nevadans participated in Saturday’s caucuses, more than 60 per cent of them aged 45 and over.
