Part of a series about the upcoming May 3,2016 Primary Election. Alex Burton and Matthew Neville join me to discuss the Democratic side of the primary. We talk about the presidential race and the 83 pledged delegates up for grab, some of the local races specifically the clerk and district 77 contests. Recorded prior to the Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maryland, Delaware and Rhode Island primaries on April 26 so some of the presidential delegate math will have changed depending on when you listen to this. The magic number for the Democratic side is 2383 delegates. And yes, we talk about the Republican race and the Supreme Court nominee issue as well. Look for a podcast from a Republican perspective (and possibly the Libertarian side) later this week.
