At a press conference in Miami on Tuesday night, Sen. Bernie Sanders said Michigan's Democratic primary was still too close to call, but that even if his narrow lead over Hillary Clinton turned to a narrow loss, that would count as a win. "I want to take this opportunity to thank the people of Michigan for kind of repudiating the polls that had us down 20-25 points a couple of days ago," he said. Calling Tuesday an "enormously successful night," Sanders noted that "whether we win or lose tonight in Michigan, basically the delegates will be split up because of proportional representation." And he predicted that better days lay ahead. "Frankly, we believe that our strongest areas are yet to happen," Sanders said. "We are going to do very, very well on the West Coast and other parts of the country." Peter Weber
