Just needs some more for advertising and to show the media she is still a strong contender.

I think she will be a strong 3rd in Nevada but we might be able to take second and make this a Sanders v Warren race and knock out Bloomberg before Super Tuesday.

If she can surprise to the upside strongly in Nevada and South Carolina, there is a possible path for her forward to the nomination. I have always been open to Warren, but if she doesn't come in strongly in two states where the electorate is diverse, after doing relatively poorly in her neighboring state of NH, I don't see her piling up the needed delegates on Super Tuesday, or having the money to remain competitive in a more media driven stage of primary season.

Warren still has time, but it is a narrow window. I guess we will all know more soon.

The reality is we have the best government money can buy. Until that changes I have to go the only way to victory.

The best chance we have to over turn Citizens United is to have a Democrat out spend the other side and force Publicans to repeal it or lose in the future.

Lots of people are fed up, have less trust in both parties than they used to, and don't see a lot of alternatives. There's much more to it that than, but that's the most succinct way I can think of to explain some of what we've been experiencing.
