Until he loses it in some round table talk about how ____ candidate didn't perform as well as expected.

When Ed is on your side, look out. He will blow it for you. He's a bufoon.

You could really get a sense of the size of the crowd.

Feel it...the Bern!

Howard was riding so high, getting huge crowds, getting a pretty good response in the media, etc then as soon as the Iowa primary came around - KaBoom!

All the power of the Dem establishment and their minions came down on Dean like a landslide.

It was easy in the Iowa caucus environment to intimidate people. Kennedy and Kerry sent in their stalwarts - I was watching on tv and saw them surround little groups of Dean people at the various caucus scenarios. I wouldn't want to have been in their spot.

we have to be ready for when the gloves come off.

The ones who have the power are not going to give it up willingly.

petition to have Debbie Wasserman Schultz removed as DNC Chairman. She should have been replaced November 5,2014. The day after the Democrats were clobbered.
She is has no idea about Democratic politics except that she will remain to the Right of every issue.

You are absolutely correct. I've been trying to raise this issue for a couple of weeks now. Never EVER underestimate the Party Machine.

The Party Faithful are already circling the wagons here in California with "liberal" (cough cough) San Francisco going strongly for Hillary. Oakland? Not so much. Don't know about L.A. The Central Valley's liberal activists who never sleep and never miss an election are going strong for Bernie. The Establishment Dems here are wholly ineffectual which can be seen by the fact that there are more registered Democrats here than Republicans and the Democrats couldn't win an election locally if they had Diebold machines rigged in their favor.

We need to be vigilant and we need to be ready for the Dirty Tricks because they are most definitely coming.

The excitement is growing, Go Bernie Go!

K & R.

It's exciting. I can't get enough of Bernie. It's time for a change, big time.

Listen to the people on the ground. Gave me that "feel good" feeling again.

I feel the BERN!!!

Thanks Ed, 1k times.

eom

glad to count myself among them.

go bernie go!

If this isn't a sign that the voters are totally disgusted and fed up with corporate politics as usual, I don't know what is. Watch out, Hillary! Bernie's closing in fast!

As for the dirty tricks, I was out of the country when the whole thing fell down on Howard Dean. When I left the country, he was riding high on his big surge. When I came back, Howard Dean was a has-been, and had dropped out of the race - and I wondered what the heck had happened. Many years later, I saw the incident - the big whoop he let out at a rally - that was the supposed cause of his downfall. But really, was a persistently negative media spin on a campaign war whoop the only thing that drove Dean into the ground? Please enlighten me!
