Not the GE, that's months away. Not the nomination, nor even the IA and NH races.

Sanders 27 / Hillary 2 / O'Malley 1

but will Bernie win it all, and finally win the Pundits?
Tomorrow will tell...

Oh hell, who am I kidding? The punditry are owned by the Corporate Media giants, and despite what "we the people" say, the Wall Street welcome wagon will roll out for Hillary, truths will be ignored, and lies will become canon. Lather, rinse, repeat.
There is an upside, though. The beauty of the talking head is that if you don't listen, then all that talking wont matter.
Fuck the punditry, and just vote! With our help - not by their decree - Bernie will win it all.

(14,689 posts)If I had to bet all my money, I'd say no. I'm way more optimistic than I was a week ago, but Clinton is still the favorite.
I'll do all I can to help Bernie. I think I'll have to reach out in other ways, since Florida is complete Hillary country and I don't expect the state to be close.
