Does Bernie Seriously Have ONE Campaign Office in California?

http://www.bernie2016events.org/#zipcode=&distance=50&eventtype=O&daterange=all-events

First, my disclaimers:

1. I don't know if this is accurate (if this is not accurate, I'll delete this thread)
2. I don't know how many Hillary has

That being said, if you're going to need to win a State with 60-65% of the vote, you're going to need a bigger operation on the ground.

But, I hear he's been hiring for California. Maybe they'll be opening an office in Santa Barbara. Nice beaches, great places to eat. Perfect place to witness the final days.

But your zeal to post about Bernie's California strategy before you even knew the reality is most touching.

The primaries are all about talking about how someone is running their campaign. If talk about issues you are being negative. Why does 99% of HRC supporters only post about the horse race and not the issues?

Plenty of OPs were devoted to demanding loyalty pledges, telling other people how to post, berating one set of DUers or another, etc.

Lots of variety! Really top level intellectual stuff, too. I was very impressed.
