He is everything you said, and this time we have a long, honorable record to prove it.
First time in my living memory I have ever been so enthusiastic about a politician.

(62,325 posts)but not dependent on it. His rise in popularity is due mainly to his intelligent use of the New Media. He has been using it himself to stay in touch with the people for a long time.
He has a literal army of supporters online all connnecting with each other, making sure people KNOW when he has events coming up, ensuring there will be huge crowds there. OWS members are playing a big part in this, using the excellent tactics they used to spread that movement from what was supposed to be a couple of days in ONE CITY to all over the world.
Now they are making sure people know about Bernie. HE supported THEM so now they are supporting him.
As he said, 'never underestimate the power of the social media'.
So for that reason alone, I think more people will learn about him, and any negative effects of the Old Media are quickly dealt with online and sent out to tens of thousands of people.
