The New York Times reports:
Senator Bernie Sanders has won the Washington State and Alaska caucuses, according to The Associated Press, two critical victories that could give his campaign a new burst of momentum heading into the Midwest and Northeast primaries next month.The enemies of the system of free enterprise have spoken , as economist Joseph Schumpeter has said. The enemies like Comrade Sanders.
Democrats in Hawaii were also voting on Saturday in the last contest of March.
Washington, the largest prize of the day with 101 delegates in play, and Alaska, with 16 delegates, held caucuses, essentially local voting meetings: the kind of contests where Mr. Sanders has done well. Both states also have relatively low percentages of black and Hispanic voters, two groups that have favored Hillary Clinton this year.
Hawaii Democrats are awarding 25 delegates based on a “presidential preference poll,” a hybrid event in which voters show up at a scheduled meeting, like a caucus, but vote by secret ballot, like a primary.
