I don't know if anyone here has noted this yet, but DU is NOT reacting to Senator Sanders the same way it did to Senator Obama at this same point in his first bid for the Presidency. I doubt if even 50% of us were backing him yet back then. Of course there are the mitigating factors to be considered but this incredible outpouring of genuine love that we currently see for Bernie was definitely not one of those mitigating factors!
