With Bernie Sanders unexpectedly still ahead in Michigan at 11 p.m. EST with 86 percent reporting, some analysts are seeing a potentially different race in the months ahead. CNN analyst Donna Brazile told her colleagues that if Sanders indeed nabs this win, "we could go until June."

Hillary Clinton is still ahead in delegates, especially with a win Tuesday evening in Mississippi. However, Brazile predicted that a Sanders win in Michigan would result in "another 2008."
