Bill Press: Sanders a serious opponent

"In a world of poll-tested and blow-dried candidates, Sanders also has the appeal of authenticity. So what if he’s not movie-star handsome? Or his hair goes in several directions at once? He’s the real deal. Plus, he’s an experienced candidate, having survived 20 different campaigns without airing a single negative ad. In fact, when he ran for reelection in 2012, he didn’t run any TV or radio commercials at all — and won with 71 percent of the vote. He has strong grassroots support. He raised $1.5 million in small donations within 24 hours of announcing.

'Don’t underestimate me,' Bernie warns. Doing so would be a big mistake."
