so I don't know how much credit we can give Bernie on that one. I think it makes him a more attractive candidate to moderates though. Expand social security, national health care, revamp student loans, let people hunt - these are all things most people want no matter if they call themselves dems or repugs on social issues.

That is the thing that is really interesting to me about this primary season. Hillary is thought to be more attractive to moderates because of her fiscal policy, but I don't buy the argument that most people support Wall Street. Now that people are figuring out how much control corporations/banks have in this country I don't think they support that at all. They support small business, opportunity, reasonable safety nets, personal freedom. Bernie gets that.
