Why are you posting pics of his rallies on DU then? beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #5
The obvious point is that big crowds don't necessarily translate into becoming the nominee. Metric System Oct 2015 #6
You couldn't make that point without posting pictures of Republican rallies on DU? beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #7

I'm sure she'll have tens of thousands lining up to cheer her on when she finally gets around to speaking to the people.

Like the Senator from Vermont who no one ever heard of a few months ago.

No ads, no huge pr campaign, just wom and social media.

Now look at how many people are FEELING THE BERN!!!

You can't win if you don't inspire passion. Or if you put getting big checks before actually putting together an inspirational campaign.

I believe his path was to run in the same manner as Obama did, then turn the tables post election. At least until Fox was able to capitalize "the scream". They we're able to resurrect the play in 08 though, and it was viewed as new and fresh since Dean never got a chance to complete his part.
