(3,499 posts)After a couple of days tabling at the MN State Fair, I would estimate a landslide for Bernie March 1. The campaign staff is starting to hook up with some heavy hitters. Polls are important, but only a snapshot in time and not very accurate in a caucus state. Six months on the road will tell the story. Bernie would be foolish to attack Hillary personally or otherwise because he's strong enough on the issues, besides which, if nominated he will need their votes. She has a solid machine, but in a caucus state the advertising doesn't
amount to much, because the delegates ratio is decided at the precinct level by the turnout of the faithful.
Personally I would like to see the anti-Hillary rhetoric toned down a lot and see a lot more positive comments. Part of living in a democracy is respecting other peoples opinions, and this race will not be decided by blogging.
