I think there have been supporters of both Bernie and Hillary who have been less than classy.

I admire Bernie for the way he conducts himself.

Surely, you would agree that Bernie has got pretty much everybody outclassed.

That's really what I meant to communicate. He rises above the nastiness that so many of us (myself included) sometimes fall prey to.

I honestly just meant to say that Bernie is classier than the rest of us. I should've included myself and not singled out supporters of one candidate or the other.

Now, if the GOP Senate attempts to hold up Obama's nomination, Bernie (or Hillary) will go into high gear.

Plus, few think that the GOP can hold on to the Senate this year. They have too many vulnerable candidates and Dems have very few.

It is going to get very interesting.
