Five states will vote in the Democratic primaries on Tuesday, March 15th -- and all of those states are delegate-rich. They are Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Illinois, and Florida.The Sanders campaign, buoyed by their slim victory in Michigan last week, is hoping for more surprises this week -- and it is possible that he could score a close win in one or two of the March 15th states (the most likely being in Missouri and Ohio).
But I remain convinced that it will be a very good night for Hillary Clinton -- and whether she sweeps these states or just wins a majority of them, she will significantly increase her delegate lead after all the votes have been counted.
