I think it might be a bit of an outlier. I think she will win, but by that much?

Has he spent any money in GA at all?

Because...you know, they're red states and they aren't feeling the bern, so obviously they're not worth worrying about.

As an aside...has there ever been a more amateurish campaign slogan for a president than "Feel the Bern"? "Vote for Pedro" was better!

Ten offices and 240 PAID (not volunteer) staff. All those surrogates travelling with him and separately (West, Killer Mike, Belafonte, e.g.) - ads in heavy rotation...it must have been very expensive.

I wonder if his footprint in GA is as large?


I think "Feel the Bern" sounds threatening. I think of getting singed, touching a hot stove, getting too much sun. It doesn't sound positive to me--but then again, he's not my candidate so maybe I'm predisposed to not like the slogan. And I also think the "Look for America" theme is not good either. I was talking to a chatty woman in the grocery line about that ad the other day, and she said "I have to look for my glasses, my pen, my cell phone. I'm not so bad off I have to go looking for America." It got a laugh.

In other words, they desecrated an old, historic brick ballroom building with ugly, 6 foot graffiti letters. I see it every day when I drive to work and it reminds daily the type of folks that support Sanders.

Bernie's like a drummerless Spinal Tap: his appeal is becoming more selective as time goes on. By the time he hits California, the only people who are going to like him are 23-year-olds who've dyed their hair gray, wear berets and smoke imported cigarettes.

Him becoming a little green globule on his drum seat would NOT be a very nice way for Hillary to advance to the general election!

Georgia is a gold ring state with 102 delegates. He can't afford to lose by a margin even a quarter that big!

when riding the Merry Go Round (it gives you a free ride).

I always apportion states into gold, silver, and bronze. A big win in a gold ring state means you just did very, very well. A big win in a bronze state (like Vermont)...meh. That's nice.
