Some ground reporting from So Cal. [View all]

My Wife has been canvasing and participating in voter drives for Bernie in west LA and the response so far has been fantastic. She's dropped off well over 100 registration forms in the last 2 days... mostly new voters and some who switched from "American Independent" to "No party" after they were told what American Independent" really means in CA.

I am doing some highly unscientific polling in the area. (Bumper stickers).

I see (on average) 5 Bernie Sanders bumper stickers per day.

I have seen exactly 0 Hillary Clinton bumper stickers at all.

I see (on average) about 1 Trump sticker per day (or see someone wearing something that indicates they are for Trump).

The best thing is running into someone with a Bernie T-shirt or hat and seeing the huge smile on their face when I say "FEEL THE BERN".
