And just to remind everyone again, Bernie actually won the straw poll of this audience with 65% which is pretty great.

Sanders 65%

Clinton 23%

O'Malley 12%

And to those who think Bernie is racist, you need to click through to this video.

I do not know who I will vote in the MI primary. But Bernie here has my attention. As a native Detroiter -- born in the 40's -- all the more so.

Well worth a view.
