New Yorkers know this.
People in the eastern part of the state from about 60 miles north of NYC all the way up to Canada have heard of him. He has been on the Albany NPR affiliate on their local program were they interview local politicians every week. We have heard him for quite some time.
Personally, I have seen hundreds of Bernie bumper stickers, buttons, and yard signs. To date I have only seen one Clinton yard sign, and one Clinton bumper sticker. If this is any indication of what we have here in the Hudson Valley, we shall see Bernie win this one hands down.
I do understand from friends that there is a following in all of the larger cities like Rochester, Buffalo, Albany, Poughkeepsie, Kingston, Newburgh, Beacon, and NYC. It is essential that we get these Democrats out to vote.
I believe, from what I have seen, and what I have heard from others, that Bernie shall win NY, by a 10 to 20 points.
Nearly everyone I speak to, black, white, latino, asian, and others, of all ages, who have heard of Bernie, are for him. Yes, there are several Clinton supporters. Most of Clinton's support are from elected officials, and older folks who want a woman for president.
New Yorkers shall not be fooled into voting for a candidate who changes views, depending on her audience.
New Yorkers FEEL THE BERN!
