But Sanders is also spending a lot of money on old-school tools and tactics, like those advertisements in rural weekly and daily newspapers. Doug Burns, the co-owner of west-central Iowas Carroll Daily Times Herald told The Washington Post that Sanders has utilized advertising in weekly newspapers in a way Ive never seen in my career. And the Sanders camp began running these newspaper ads not on the eve of the caucuses but last fall.

is taken to twitter to send out frequent messages to his supporters that they can retweet or comment on.

(36,063 posts)7. 70K is really a pretty good foundation
It's likely that not all those who attended rallies will caucus for Sanders, but a majority of that 70K probably would.
In a typical caucus year 70K - 80K for a candidate would come close to winning it.
