Going to elect another corporate ass, either way.

especially in a state like Louisiana (deep South, very Bible Belt Christian) we're mainly seeing name recognition here. Not to predict Bernie will win the primary there, but he'll do significantly better than 7%.

and people in that state know who he is, and what he stands for, as do the voters in Iowa by now.

But in the deep South, that he's barely been to. Too bad there's not a good way to tease out name recognition alone from having a vague idea what a person stands for from understanding quite clearly the differences between specific candidates.

We are rapidly getting past the basic name recognition thing, and I might well be completely wrong in my above post. But Bernie does not yet have the national presence Hillary has had since 1992, and that will persist until after Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary.

I have read here that Bernie is barely covered by the MSM. Since I don't own a TV, and only occasionally watch anything on line, so I don't know how accurate that is. I get my information from the internet, from reading books, magazines, and newspapers. So my perception of lots of things is very different from other people's.

Louisiana? He hasn't been there yet, so far as I know.

No one candidate is going to win every caucus and primary. Unless all but one candidate drops out after that one person wins the first two or three such. And that's not going to happen.

I think even O'Malley, who doesn't stand any sort of chance, unless Hillary and Bernie are both abducted by aliens , will be in it until pretty much the end. My guess (based on no information at all) is that he'll gather any delegates and support he can, and go to the National Convention with the hope of achieving at least some of his ends.

for a change. Funny thing about truth-telling: people like it.

So did you post this because you're interested in Louisiana politics or because you thought it would make Hillary look good and piss off Bernie supporters?

I know you're so nice about these things.

Positions are given.

eom

Ordinary people are hurting economically and therefore, more than usually receptive to the truths that Bernie regularly says. But the debate will expose more people to his authenticity and veracity. Hillary is inconsistent in many of her positions, reflecting both her big donors and small contributions. Bernie does not contradict himself. I think he will win the with debate her.

The debate may hinge on who voters think can protect America's interests best.

Right?

All his presence is doing right now is skewing the results, and it's not fair to any of the declared candidates.

On the plus side, that means I get to ignore just about every poll these days, and go on my merry way. It's liberating, actually.

She has had a very good week!

'Cuz Dems ALWAYS do so fucking well in the deep south.



I LOVE the smell of Inevitable Desperation in the morning.
