IMHO, after Lieberman anything with the term "mentum" in it is toxic.

When I told my friends I supported Sanders, they invariably said exactly what you put in your title: "I like him, but he has no chance." Some of them are not saying that anymore. Now they're looking at him as if he has a genuine shot at the nomination. but they're still nervous about the socialist label. The next step appears to be overcoming that fear.

would vote for a Socialist and that 7 out of 10 young people WANT a Socialist Democratic Government, like those in Europe.

Red baiting has failed so for the most part we are not seeing them try to use that anymore, and have moved on to other attempts to try to slow his amazing momentum down.

Just tell them about the Scandinavian countries, which is what Bernie means by Socialist Democratic governing. Young people have more access to real news today so they associate the word with those countries rather than the now ancient rhetoric of a sad era in this nation's history.

pollenate a couple of their colleagues, friends and families to support Bernie. And then they each went to pollenate more.

This is how a revolution happens. We need to keep the messages going on social media. Go Bernie!!!!!!

Up around 170-180,000 in the last maybe 10 days since I started watching...after every rally, it now makes a huge jump.

The Reno rally is now over 1,000 RSVPs already...considering that is only the RSVPs done on the FB page, it's probably closer to 3,000...at least.

Bernie...Bernie...Bernie...Bernie!
