10. What is entirely different about Bernie's campaign is that it seems to come from the bottom up.

I mean to say that in the past everything had to be cleared and approved from above. Nothing could be said or done without the approval of the candidates committee.

But this whole campaign seems to be coming from the people outside the committee.

In the past, it was a sin to make posters and stickers without the candidates approval, because the candidate wanted to sell them to you. I think everyone senses that something has changed. There are local candidates now starting to try to run with local contributions. It has been along time coming. I guess we will see if it will work at the local level or where the old method of a rich group picks who is going to run for office.

I hope someone gets an iPhone app built soon.
