WaPo: So Much for the Clinton Juggernaut

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2015/10/01/the-daily-202-so-much-for-the-clinton-juggernaut/

-snip-
THE BIG IDEA:

— A 74-year-old democratic socialist from Vermont essentially matched Hillary Rodham Clinton’s fundraising over the past three months, a remarkable development certain to make already-nervous supporters of the Democratic frontrunner even more so.

Clinton raised $28 million from July 1 to Sept. 30. Bernie Sanders raised $26 million.

Hillary personally headlined 58 fundraisers during that time period, the same number as she did during the previous quarter. Sanders only appeared at seven finance events! Almost all of his money came from online.

So far, Hillary has been steadily losing ground in the polls. I would be surprised if she were to do anything different as the campaign drags on. Bernie, on the other hand, has been steadily gaining.

One caveat:-- In a general election, I'm not sure if the voters are ready for a compassionate Socialist. So I have mixed feelings about whether Biden should jump into the race.

Bernie's positions and proposals the more they like him. Once they're acquainted with him they're more than ready for a compassionate Socialist. We just have to help him get the word out.

IMO Biden is just a more likeable version of Hillary. So, No-Go With Joe for me.

58 to 7 let it soak in, because it's true people power taking back our country from the corrupt and greedy.

And I love that her's are $2700 per "plate" with the richest of the rich.

Bernie's fundraisers (that I've seen posted on his site) start at $50.

That speaks volumes to me.
