In final rally before Iowa caucuses, Sanders reminds voters of Obama win

https://www.yahoo.com/politics/in-final-rally-before-iowa-caucuses-sanders-054520250.html

ES MOINES, Iowa — With less than 24 hours before the caucuses, Sen. Bernie Sanders reminded the 1,700 supporters who gathered for a final rally that their state had recently elected another long-shot candidate who no one thought had a chance.

“Eight years ago a young United States senator came here to campaign,” Sanders said at the rally in Grand View University’s basketball court. “What people were saying is, Iowa is a virtually all-white state and this black guy doesn’t have a chance. But what the people of Iowa did is say, ‘Hey, we’re going to judge this guy not by the color of his skin but by his ideas and character.’ And you allowed Barack Obama to win the caucus.”

"You allowed Barack Obama to win the caucus" He said - "too bad we couldn't primary him in '12, also you should read "Buyers Remorse", it's an awesome book", he left unsaid
