Two more PoC yesterday.

[Admiral Loinpresser]

My wife is Arapaho and works with a predominantly native group. Today in the copy room, a co-worker told her he finally looked at one of her FB Youtube posts. He really liked Bernie's speech and called his wife in to watch. They are backing Bernie now.

The Establishment relies on TV, but doesn't do well in new media and they don't get word of mouth. Could this be the cycle where new media plays the role TV did begining in 1960?

1. when you combine the passion that people feel for Bernie....

with all of the new media options....that is the key.

People just don't bother with a candidate they aren't excited about.

This could be the turning point.

10. I also don't believe that the polls out there are reliable because they don't

get cell phone users do they? if they did it might scare people.

[virtualobserver]

13. some pollsters do....they do a wide range of things these days....

to try and compensate for the issues surrounding cell phones.

20. Polls tend to be an accurate snapshot when taken in aggregate.

However they tend to be like the wind, blowing in one direction until they make a radical change. I'd be a lot more worried if they looked like now a few weeks before super tuesday. Right now there's too much time left to glean anything other than trends.

And if anything is going to trip the polls up it's "likely to vote Democrats". I don't think the pollsters have any idea what's about to come in the way of disenfranchised voters, first time voters, cross over voters, "they're all the same" voters, disgusted non-voters, etc, who are going to join with Bernie. They simply have no model to handle it.

2. I'm Unfamiliar With The Term PoC - Could You Enlighten Me?....

It's probably something really obvious and I'll be embarrassed - but I'd like to know.

5. Person of Color. n/t

[haikugal]

7. Hi global1...POC means people of color...don't worry I ask stuff all the time...

[global1]

14. Thanks To All Of You That Responded To My Question....

I should have known that - but didn't - now I do thanks to all of you. (Hmmm... I knew I'd be embarrassed.)

[SusanCalvin]

15. Don't be embarrassed, please -

You don't ask, you don't find out. Teh Google failed me just yesterday on an acronym with many possible meanings.

[MissDeeds]

8. It means 'people of color' n/t

[Cleita]

3. I think so.

Social media and website like DU will be how we get our news.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

4. Why do you think they are trying to end net nutrality?

[SusanCalvin]

16. Bingo. nt

[Enthusiast]

22. I believe they would like to say, "We are in danger from terrorists on social media!"

And they would also like to say, "Terrorists are using social media as a recruiting tool."

Well, actually various spokesmen have said both already. They are trying to justify clamping down on the internet.

6. When I saw your post title my first reaction was, "Who have the goddamned police shot now?"

Glad to see I was wrong.

[haikugal]

9. Me too...what a relief!

[Admiral Loinpresser]

11. We all need good news, also! n/t

[arcane1]

12. TV isn't where people are getting the news about his rallies either!

The networks will be drowning in Super-PAC cash for the next 15 months, so there's no way we can count on them. And I don't think we need them!

[SusanCalvin]

17. I think you are absolutely right.

So Bernie gets in under the M$M's radar. Good.

[appalachiablue]

18. K & R. Excellent, thanks for sharing this good news!

Go BERNIE!

[SoapBox]

19. Speaking of no coverage...

The CBS Nightly News tonight...T-Rump and his garbage, Clinton and blah, blah, blah.

Not one word about last night of collectively, the weekend.

[Enthusiast]

21. I hope this is the cycle, Admiral.

Go, Bernie!

[Admiral Loinpresser]

23. Damn the Establishment torpedos,

full steam ahead!
