By By AMY CHOZICK, New York Times
(Mar. 26, 2016) — Senator Bernie Sanders handily defeated Hillary Clinton on Saturday in the Washington State and Alaska caucuses, infusing his underdog campaign with critical momentum and bolstering his argument that the race for the Democratic nomination is not a foregone conclusion.
Mr. Sanders found a welcome tableau in the largely white and liberal electorates of the Pacific Northwest, where just days after routing Mrs. Clinton in Idaho he won another resounding victory in Washington. The Associated Press declared him the winner after early results showed him beating Mrs. Clinton by more than 50 percentage points. In Alaska, he had a nearly 60-point lead.
