CNN just announced that Hawaii results aren't expected until mid-night eastern time (which is 6:00 pm standard time in Hawaii, no DST in Hawaii).
That's 9:00 pm Pacific time, 10:00 pm mountain time, and 11:00 pm central time (assuming DST). I suspect that they'll have some preliminary results slightly before that, however.

Does it need to be surprising or amazing to be significant?
Should we dismiss all Hillary's wins in the south because everyone knew she was going to clean up there?
There's limited polling out of California but what there is suggests Sanders is already within striking distance and is likely to walk away with at least ~half the delegates there. Clinton looks well positioned to easily win NY.
One thing I've noticed is that the "new money" liberals are pretty much all in for Sanders. Those who came from wealthy families seem to back Clinton. I suspect there's something to it. Sanders' message resonates with people who had to struggle through college and when they were just starting their careers. People who grew up with a pile of cash and solid connections never had to worry about how they were going to get through college and had high paying jobs handed to them. Of course they can't identify with Bernie's message.
Expand social security, a system that is by any logical metric insolvent. Tuition free college. Free healthcare. Reparations for native Americans. Good thing we aren't $19 trillion in debt or I'd be worried. Maybe it will be offset with all the economic growth from his $15/hr min wage and increased regulations.
Ps....so why are we going to tax Wall Street since we 'bailed out wall street'? Why not tax the auto makers?
It beats expanding the wars and wasting trillions more there.

How did you notice that? By looking around your circle of friends? Because it's certainly not true of me or my circle of friends. Those of us who support Clinton come from a background of working families who struggled to pay bills and rent. I'm the first generation in my family to attend college and I worked to pay my own way 100%, including tuition and living expenses, without college loans or family help. We weren't even lower middle class, we were dirt poor - welfare poor. My father left us when I was a child so I was raised by a single mom and that's why I so avidly appreciate Clinton's advocacy for women's rights.
Clinton came from a family of modest means and background who worked hard to become marginally middle class. Like many of my friends I identify with both Clinton's and Sanders' family's struggles.
Every time I listen to him..I cannot help but find him talking "Common Sense" GO Bernie..Maybe some sort of "New Deal" could be accomplished IF voters come out in force!!
