I will vote for Bernie in the WI Primary

and volunteer for his campaign. I expect Wisconsin to be an important primary since it was instrumental in other campaigns such as 1960, 1968, 1972 & 1976. Despite Walker, Wisconsin has a progressive heritage that is still alive in the states Democratic Party (it is looking increasingly likely that Russ Feingold, for instance, will seek his old Senate Seat next year). I'm glad he will be part of the debates.

I'm not politically naive--I don't expect that Bernie will be the nominee, but I'm hoping he will push the party more to the left and influence the platform and the eventual nominee, who I fully expect will (probably) be Hillary Clinton.

while i don't know if we will be as important as 2008 when during the obama vs hilary battle we dems choose obama.

It's not going to be easy fight.

The problem Is if Hillary walks Into white house In january 2017 will the new income equality hillary show up or the past Clinton
record.

If you think we here are tough on the clinton foundation donations we are nothing compared to MSM and Republicans.
