that is unlikely to go blue in the General election.

I like to believe that Democrats in a state like mine (Tennessee) have to be a little more aware and that we will remember who was on the correct side of the issues such as the repeal of Glass-Steagall and the IWR, among others.

I hope Senator Sanders surprises the hell out of the conventional thinkers in South Carolina. It's time for a revolution.
