Bernie's hot streak continues! slate

Sanders’ strong showing in the straw poll comes as he continues to draw unusually large and passionate crowds in Iowa and New Hampshire. At a large rally in the Granite State on Saturday, the self-styled socialist predicted he’d pull off the upset there. “Let me tell you a secret,” he told the crowd. “We’re going to win New Hampshire.” Such a proclamation would have gone largely unheard a month ago. This past weekend, though, made it clear that a sizeable swath of the left is at least listening attentively.
