I think (hope) that the more events he has where thousand are showing up will help...what we need is to be able to let people know about these events, since the lame media won't yet cover him.

who was running? Not only funny name but he was black? Totally unelectable. Hillary Clinton made a clear and convincing argument about that, which is why she's President today, right?

Bernie is not unelectable. He might not make it to the nomination, but he's still no more unelectable than Barack Obama was.

I think people underestimate his popularity with independents, which comprise over 60% of Alaska's electorate. With the clowns running for the Republican nomination, he could probably pull some Republican votes, too.
