Super Saturday Megathread, 3/5/16!

This might be a stupid question, so I apologize in advance.

But are these Sanders wins significant? I know in terms of actual delegates, Clinton and Sanders aren't that far apart (if we don't count Super Delegates). But I also think "perception" and "momentum" are just as important in politics, as it can often influence voters as the race goes on. And sadly, the Media plays a big role in this (I say sadly, because I think momentum/perception is entirely up to the media with how they choose to cover something).

In this case, I feel the story is still that Clinton became the clear front runner on Super Tuesday with 7 wins. Even thought Sanders ultimately won 4 states too, the narrative was that Clinton "won big" on Super Tuesday, and really solidified her front runner status.

Super Tuesday gave her a huge boost in momentum, and the medias coverage of it IMO was a big boost to the "perception" of her candidacy.

However, Sanders won 2 states tonight (Hillary 1). So that means since Tuesday, Sanders has won 6, Hillary has won 8. That seems pretty close. However, I still feel like the way the media covered Super Tuesday, the narrative is still that Clinton has the momentum.

What worries me, is that I saw a post on here, where Nate Silver of Five Thirty Eight, predicts Hillary will sweep the next 6 states in march. That she will dominate the rest of this month, and win every single race (except the final race, which could go to Sanders). So when you have the whole Super Tuesday 7 state sweep + her sweeping the next 6 states (March 8th and 15th elections)...doesn't that kind of make Sanders win tonight, kind of a small on the radar?
