Sanders Seeks Supporters' Selfies for TV Ads

-snip-
In an email Monday, Sanders’ campaign asked New Hampshire supporters to snap selfies and upload them to the campaign website. If they are wearing Bernie gear, or their work uniform, all the better.

“We want Granite Staters who turn on the TV and hear about Bernie Sanders' campaign in New Hampshire to see the real engine driving this movement,” Melissa Byrne, the campaign’s New Hampshire digital director, said in the email.

All right I have a question about the process.

Why is Bernie NOT on the ballot in 13 states? I thought if a candidate threw their hat in the ring
and did all the necessary paperwork they are on all ballots in all 50 states. I tried to google it
but couldn't find the answer. I hate to throw this question out there. I guess I should know the answer!

At Key Iowa Dinner, Bernie Sanders Sharply Criticizes Hillary Clinton's Record-Bloomberg

-snip-
Without mentioning his opponent by name, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders chose a key campaign event Saturday night in the crucial caucus state of Iowa to make a stand against the Democratic front-runner.

"I will govern based on principle, not poll numbers," Sanders said at the Iowa Democratic Party’s Jefferson-Jackson Dinner before detailing his staunch opposition to the Defense of Marriage Act, the Iraq war, and major trade agreements–all examples that highlight Clinton's shifting positions over the years. His attack echoed then-Senator Barack Obama’s assertion at the same dinner in 2007 that Democrats have "made the biggest difference in the lives of the American people when we led, not by polls, but by principle.”

Sanders Goes on Offense Against Clinton in Key Iowa Dinner-Time

-snip-
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders leveled his harshest criticism yet at Hillary Clinton Saturday, as the two spoke at a crucial Democratic dinner in Iowa.

Speaking at the Iowa Democratic Party’s Jefferson-Jackson Dinner, Sanders implied that the former Secretary of State was a political shapeshifter who changes her views for political convenience.

Though he never said Clinton’s name, it was clear that much of his speech was aimed at her.

“I promise you tonight as your president I will govern based on principle not poll numbers,” Sanders told the crowd of about 6,000 Iowa Democrats to raucous cheers. “My message to you today is the same as it was yesterday, and will be tomorrow.”
