Move to Canada? Move to Norway?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027677883

Posted in the wrong place. Apologies to Admin.

As a 1/2 Norwegian Canadian, I am stumped by any one who isn't supporting Sanders
You have the answer right there!
Remember Quisling. Things could have been different in Scandinavia if it wasn't for the resistance movement.

Hillary and Quisling similarities should not be ignored.

What CBC (Canada's national news) is reporting on Hillary vs. Sanders

I don't know if this url will work in the US, but this is pretty interesting. Especially found the Obama strategic papers for the 2008 campaign on Hillary interesting in light of her "I'm not a politician" claim.

Just in case there's a problem, it's up on youtube at

DWS favorability poll?

I've done a cursory search for this, but can find nothing current. Are there polls out there to measure DWS' favourability?
Yes, I agree, polls can be read any which way from north to south, but, just from a 'public awareness' point of view, wouldn't such a poll be worthwhile?

Some Maine caucases are sharing #'s. Congrats Bernie!

http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/03/puerto-rico-maine-primary-results/472485/

Participants are already sharing the results of their own caucuses on social media, and reporters are offering numbers from the caucuses they attended. A reporter for the television station WCSH, for example, added up the numbers at all five caucus sites in South Portland, tallying 819 votes for Sanders, and 440 for Clinton. In Brunswick, the Bangor Daily News reports, it was 878 for Sanders, and 688 for Clinton. These aren’t the official tallies, of course. But these numbers, like those offered up by other participants, are sure to buoy the mood at Sanders’s headquarters.

About floppyboo

Let me get this out of the way first: I am a Canadian. Half Canadienne, Half Norwegian. I am a woman. I endeavor to keep my posts objective. My slant is definitely towards a democracy that works on a meritocracy that is based, ideally, on a starting point of a level playing ground and a fair kick at the can, no matter your passion, so long as it embodies fairness and justice to all the peoples of the earth, and of course, to mother earth herself. Thank you for helping me learn more through the dialogue here on DU.
