Even Morning Joe has noticed (finally) Bernie Sanders and his campaign! [View all]

They played clips from his speech in Burlington yesterday before an enthusiastic group of supporters. The excitement of the crowd was palpable -- these were energized folks and Bernie was on fire. The real deal.

Chuck Todd was there and Joe asked if the audience was paid to come. Chuck told the panel that no, they were genuinely excited by Bernie (as only Chuck could know, of course, being so wise).

I thought to myself "well, this is progress. Even Joe Scar is waking up and smelling the coffee..."

He later interviewed Rand Paul who had all the enthusiasm of a limp rag. What a difference!

This was a good morning to be a progressive Democrat, when even MSNBC has to recognize reality...poor Joe was reduced to yadda yadda about Hillary's server.

I always said that Occupy Wall Street would have a strong impact on politics in this country, back when the media was characterizing it as a flash in the pan and would fade away. Nope. OWS lit a fire.
