by focus groups or polls but by conviction. He's really no different in Columbia than he is at the potluck town hall's he holds here in Vermont

Not bored becuse there's anything wrong with it. Just that I totally agree with him, and have heard it all before. I want to see some back and forth.

significant new points of emphasis. In particular, the closing lines asking Americans to not allow themselves to be distracted
by divisiveness so that they can join together to bring about change for those who are being deprived.

The speech was anything but boring.

Yet, I also had heard him say most of his points. The S.C. speech did seem fresh to me.

Bernie has an encyclopedic memory for details of history. There is a profoundness in his speaking style that goes far beyond most of the politicians we are accustomed to listening to. I'm just hoping that enough Americans will see the depth in his thinking to cause them to work hard for his election.

It is an amazing speech. Every American should listen to it.

He, more than anyone I know, understands what is happening to Americans and is dedicated to doing something about it.

President. But, head to head I rate Sanders higher than Kennedy on several points.

Sanders is a bona fide authority on American History, psychology, politics and humanism.

He knows what we need and is willing to do everything he can to help us. I don't believe in many American politicians but I believe in him. He's the real deal.
