A Whistlestop tour for Bernie.

Given the populist sentiment Bernie invokes, I would strongly suggest we capitalize on this by having Bernie do a Whistlestop tour like Truman. There is a strong possibility that this flame could be further exposed.
Thoughts?

If not Bernie then what about a Bernie train for a time spreading the word by supporters?

And just say we'd refurbish it--somewhat.

I'll bet you a dollar to donuts people would jump on this in a nano second.
