Adjusting the goals for NY

Remember how they were telling us they'll win it, and turn it around? Primary 2.0? According to this story http://www.politico.com/story/2016/03/bernie-and-hillary-prep-for-new-york-clash-221321 thet are now striving for a "credibility threshhold"

Sanders’ allies said the goal for the primary is to eat into Clinton’s delegate take by winning at least 40 percent of the vote -- a percentage they cite as a “credibility threshold.”

I guess those very expensive pollsters finally came in with their reports

* I’m not going to write about Democrats. If we use the majority of pledged delegates as a criterion, the paint became dry as of South Carolina/Nevada. If one includes superdelegates in the count, Hillary Clinton started above the 50% criterion even before Iowa/New Hampshire and has not dipped below.
