"It now looks like Bernie Sanders could also actually win."

(CNN)Recently, I was in Des Moines, Iowa, for a meeting of the populist farmers organization Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement. I was there to help the group celebrate its 40th anniversary and to talk about the issues it works on, including environmental regulation, farm policy and immigration reform.

But all the members wanted to talk about was Bernie Sanders.

They don't seem all that unique among Democratic voters or voters in general in Iowa. One poll in mid-September found Sanders with a 10-point lead over Hillary Clinton among likely Democratic primary voters. And a newer poll finds that Sanders fares better than Clinton even in general election matchups against possible GOP contenders.

Being this excited about a candidate brings out the best in people who support them i.e. knocking on doors, making phone calls, etc.

We have been setting up tables at events with Bernie flyers, buttons, shirts etc. and it is amazing how many people want to know more about him. And how many people are really excited about him. It really is the easiest campaigning ever and you meet some great people.
