Bernie Sanders

(14,733 posts)3. So far so good on event attendance.
Clinton barely got more folks at her NYC launch than Bernie did at his Burlington one, then he edged her by about the same percentage at his first official Iowa event vs hers, now he gets 'nearly 1000' at his first official New Hampshire one, while the reporters covering her first one are reporting that she has a 'smaller' number at her NH one than she did even in Iowa. I'd love to see him start strong and win both Iowa and New Hampshire right out of the block.

A vile thing for Gutierrez to say since he's worked with 'What's his name?'

Gutierrez hopefully will be primaried. The DNC guy has yet to apologize. Boyd Brown is his name.
