In reply to the discussion: Rachel Maddow Show, Now on polling on the SC Dem. Forum, feedback from SC Voters [View all]appalachiablue
(43,952 posts)gather. ~ Wish there'd been more on the lead about polling after the SC Dem. Forum. Rachel said the results would also be out tmrw in the PP?. Clinton is still leading in SC and I wonder about the demo. of those polled.
>Today a young black woman in South Carolina called Thom Hartman's program to say she went to the Dem. Forum last Fri. and was very impressed with candidates, esp. Bernie. She put Bernie stickers on her car, and when she returned home from work at a health center the next day her car tires were slashed.
When Thom asked her what she thought could be done by the *Sanders campaign to increase contact and outreach to PoC and African Americans, she suggested connecting with BLACK COLLEGES, an excellent idea.
Bernie's *National Student Town Hall recently held at George Mason Univ. in NoVA was a big success, attended by many DC area college students and livestreamed to 300 campuses in all 50 states. Many US colleges with large black and minority student populations could be, and may be involved in Sanders campaign via his campus student groups.
>Rachel was a guest on Chris Hayes just before and they briefly discussed the SC Forum mostly in terms of format. Rachel was surprised when she met local democrats in SC who said Sanders should not be included (?!), a theme she said O'Malley went with at the event.
The South Carolina Democratic Forum at Winthrop Univ. was very well done, good event.
