It's yuge! As expected, Saturday turned out to be a big day for Bernie Sanders, who won big victories in Alaska and Washington. With 73 percent of the precincts reporting, Sanders had 79 percent of the vote in Alaska, compared to Hillary Clinton’s 21 percent. In Washington state, by far the biggest prize of the night, Sanders had 74 percent of the vote, compared to Clinton’s 26 percent with 46 percent reporting."We just won the state of Washington. That is what momentum is about," Sanders said at a rally in Madison, Wisconsin. "Don't let anybody tell you we can't win the nomination or we can't win the general election. We're going to do both of those things."
