As easy as it may be to see Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) presidential campaign as a quixotic exercise, launched by a candidate who doesn’t really expect to hold national office, Alex Seitz-Wald reported on the Vermont independent’s strong start as a White House hopeful.
Sen. Bernie Sanders raised more than $1.5 million in the 24-hours since he announced his presidential run, his campaign announced Friday.

It’s a strong performance for a candidate many pundits have dismissed as fringe, outpacing Republican candidates who have recently announced.
In a statement, Tad Devine, a Sanders adviser who worked as a top aide to Al Gore and John Kerry, described the $1.5 million first-day haul as “a remarkable start for Bernie’s campaign.”

Corpmedia can be so clueless.
