been steadily increasing, even with registered Dems. Eg, from being a virtual unknown to most voters in Jan his polls were 3%, to now as people are beginning to get to know him, at 13%. Among only Dems.

We have no polls on the crucial and biggest voting bloc in the country right now, the Independent vote to which members of both parties have fled.

THAT is who Bernie is hoping to talk to, to reengage them in the process by showing them that there IS a candidate who speaks for them.

Already we are seeing people say, 'I am going to register as a Dem just to vote for this guy because he really speaks for me.

And his campaign, and I hope to help with this, is going after non voters, I have already found one who is now converted.

No one can win with half the base, especially when the base itself has shrunk from over 40% of registered voters in 2008 to now 32%.

Bernie not only CAN win, it is becoming more and more possible than ever with each passing day.

He has a huge enthusiastic army of volunteers at his service, more than 200,000 last time I looked a week ago.

Nothing is more valuable to a candidate than genuinely enthusiastic supporters. It's so much easier to sell a great product than a mediocre one, and Bernie is the real deal.
