I just voted in ILLINOIS!
Submitted by PastorAgnostic on Mon, 03/07/2016 - 10:46amAccording to the early poll workers, turn out has been brisk. Of the 20 or so people there, I'd say 3/5s were voting GOP, but this is the reddest part of Cook County (SW suburb). During the times that I was an election judge here, Shrub won by a huge margin, and Obama was only a couple of hundred short in 2008. (That was a moral victory, given the number of churches within one mile (12) vs. the number of bars (2). I did not realize that when I moved here.)

Please take a moment to watch this beautiful add being released in Florida. It really shows what corner Bernie is behind. I am so sick of the corrupt politicians. Bernie has been consistently fighting for what is right.

Newton's Laws of Political Action

Bernie is gaining with key demographics BUT ...
Submitted by enhydra lutris on Sat, 01/16/2016 - 8:00amAccording to
theguardian
A string of polls over the past two weeks show that the once-independent Vermont senator is tied or in the lead in the two early primary states, Iowa and New Hampshire, and all of a sudden, in striking distance of Hillary Clinton nationally.

Lots of expletives but they're deleted OT - 1-14-16
Submitted by Shahryar on Thu, 01/14/2016 - 6:00amI don't like that -ista ending...Clintonista for example. It's [expletive deleted]. First of all it's meant to be derogatory. Secondly, it's from Sandinista, as if Sandino was bad, as if Ortega was bad, as if any form of Communism is terribly awful...obviously! Thirdly, it implies blind followers, that anyone who would like any form of Communism must be an idiot.
