I have tentacles that reach far and deep into the cypress-kneed creek backwaters and the fields full of peas...Bluegrass music pickers. On the social media, they came crawling out of the woodwork. as soon as he declared his candidacy. I had to convince some people to vote for Obama, but Bernie is golden. These are just the liberal-minded people. They don't need convincing. Some convincing was needed for Obama because they said "Hillary is going to win. He will never win the southern vote." Bernie has these people in the bag. The hard nut to crack will be the tea bagger gun-totin' people who vote republican anyway.
