And the media loves to say that Pete doesn't resonate with certain demographics. Wonder if this is changing or ...?

It's great that Pete got some good percentages - but I'm at a loss what it means when you compare it to the percentages that Sanders got.

But congratulations Pete on a good showing.

The listing for Pete covers the opposites of each item. The Bernie lists picks and chooses. For example, he left off 45+ voters, which are a majority of the electorate and a critical voting bloc for November.

is so what? Pete well with the 45+. Is that your point? Just trying to understand how small percentages of people across the spectrum but consistent is something good but Sanders high percentages across another spectrum isn’t as good.

But I’m pretty sure the answer is the usual one - Sanders bad.

Amy, Pete, and Bernie finished 1,2, or 3 in every township. If the numbers weren't pretty much balanced that would be a story.
