"Comparing Clinton Primary Popularity vs Challengers" graphic - Also shows Obama's 2008 trendlines

Best graphic I've seen comparing Bernie and Obama's trendlines along with Clinton's trendlines I've ever seen. Hat tip goes to Erich Bloodaxe, BSN for finding this in D-Kos.

Hillary has more lift this time round but is suffering a similar fate. Deja vu all over again.

Thanks for posting, very interesting.

Now people think that the primary started in June of last year? Eleven months before Senator Sanders declared?

My colors will fly high.

Every corner in my neighborhood will be Bernie.

A while ago I bought 20 bumper stickers and they are going on my friends cars.

All we can do against all the Wall Street money Hillary will be using against
the revolution, and the god knows what kind of money Trump will be using.

I just spent a small fortune tonight.

Shirts, stickers, rally signs, yard sign, buttons...I already have a couple hats from CafePress.com as I didn't know if his store was going to stock them...they just added a bunch of new stuff!

Go Bernie!
