Do go here --> http://www.democraticunderground.com/1280133301 instead.As we all know, enthusiasm levels are important for both running campaigns and get-out-the-vote activities. So, let us consider visual evidence as to how Democratic candidates are doing.
First Hillary, on March 3, in New York City:
Now Bernie, at Michigan State University on March 3rd:
From the article, http://usuncut.com/news/how-tonights-bernie-sanders-rally-compared-to-hillary-clintons/ we read:
"In Michigan, Sanders spoke to a packed house at the Breslin Student Events Center at Michigan State University, where thousands of supporters lined up in the snow for hours to hear his energetic speech."
"Meanwhile, in New York City, Hillary Clinton had a very different kind of rally in a draped-off corner of the Jacob Javits Center. The rally was organized for and by many of the labor bosses in New York who had endorsed Clinton over the objections of their members. USA Today, covering the event, called it her victory lap.
For most of the attendees, being at the rally was mandatory, while some groups, such as the Carpenters Union, gave attendees comp time for the hours they were at the event. Even with such incentives, there were fewer than 1,000 people there."

So, Bernie's going to win MI (Clinton +19), or FL (+29) or IL (+19) or OH (+15)?

Which will NEVER vote Dem in the general. Let's see how Bernie does in the upcoming primaries! I bet Colorado was a preview!

No pie in the sky dream rhetoric with the Clinton supporters. No groupie mentality. This is just one reason Hillary will win.

Good luck with that. 2014 showed the success of Debbie's favorite slogan "Who alse are you going to vote for?"

the woman who wants to administrate the demise of their generation.
