Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), whose bid for the Democratic nomination for president has drawn the largest crowds on the campaign trail, is raking in major money as well.

His campaign reported on Thursday that it had raised $15 million over the last two months.

It is an impressive haul for a candidate few thought would be more than a socialist-minded megaphone. But Sanders has taken off, becoming the closest thing to a challenger to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the primaries.

Clearly there is desire for what he's talking about.

If at the end of the day, Bernie doesn't win, but drags the Democratic Party to the left, I'll take that as a huge win for us.

or whenever they feel over-whelmed with inspiration and want to do SOMETHING
to give to the effort. I'm going on three now, and the website encourages monthly
giving which I may switch to eventually.

Damn I'm proud to be one of those 250,000.

Hillary represents about the worst aspects of the current state of the Democratic Party.
