87% of African Americans view Hillary Clinton favorably

314. I bet you didn't complain when Bill Clinton, a Governor from a rather small state was nominated

Not to mention, his small state ranked in the bottom 10 on things like education, healthcare, etc - unlike Vermont, which small and rural as it is, is in the top 10.

I guess I could start a poll - should the country try to be more like Vermont OR Arkansas? Assume you are offered a free flight and expenses to spend a week in either place? -- but attacking Bernie because he represents Vermont is ridiculous.

As to bias - I wonder if the problem is that you are biased against the NE.

This is silly because Clinton is VERY VERY likely to win the nomination. Attacking entire states - especially the wonderful state of Vermont, which has a fantastic environmental record and education record, is not likely to convince anyone.

The fact is that - just as Lieberman being on the ticket raised the % of Jews that for the Democratic just a little, the % of African Americans voting for the Democratic ticket was only slightly higher in 2008 - because it was very high for Gore and Kerry, white men of privilege. Bernie was a SNCC organizer in college. Why do you think HRC is better connected. By the way, Bernie grew up in Brooklyn -- HRC in a white suburb of Chicago. HRC spoke of a pastor introducing her to the writings of Martin Luther King. Seems BOTH cared about the issue, but Sanders was the activist one.
