Let's hope that keeps up. I think the Bernie people are in a good mood w/Michigan results. kerry-is-my-prez Mar 2016 #3

I think we are all humbled and taking nothing for granted.

MI was very close and either camp could have won/lost.

It's good for everyone to have a bit of humility.

Clintonites, including me, can no longer say sit down and accept the numbers, and Berners don't need to go to extremes to make an electability point anymore.

Who knows, maybe a truly contested primary will make everyone take a deep breath and step back from the edge.

At least I hope so, because this place was getting dark.

The media blackout (when it isn't interrupted by WaPo hit pieces), the DNCs horrible disorganization and shenanigans which always seem to end in a slim win for Hillary, the gross media over reactions to Bernie's slightest missteps, the antiDemocratic Super Delegate system....EVERYTHING connected to the establishment has been in Hillary's favor, yet Bernie is still moving forward. The people really DO have some power left. Let us never take it for granted!
