That' one hundred twenty six thousand since May, 26 in Burlington... And we still have over a YEAR ahead of us. Who has gotten numbers close to this ? Did Obama ? Did Kerry ? ....Mcain ? Ron Paul ... ?

1. Obama also drew rock star crowds.

There is precedence for this.

The suits in the halls of power must be soiling themselves.

One can only hope. They're long overdue a Depends moment.

8. Did Obama draw this size crowds this early?

I can't remember

[Warpy]

10. Not quite this early, but he did draw them

Primary season is starting earlier and earlier because so many states have stupidly changed their primary dates to the first three months of an election year in order to attract advertising dollars.

I would dearly love to see a constitutional amendment mandating a primary date in May or June, at the earliest. These two year long campaigns are wearing, to say the least, and that's just on the public.

5. Great compendium of crowd pictures so far!

I'm sure there are other 100s of thousands that have seen/heard Bernie in smaller venues. I've been to a couple of much smaller rallies before he was an announced candidate. Same message, same fervor. Please don't smother this; please don't let a managed candidate steal the nomination.

15. Oh ya...he's "peaked"!

[a kennedy]

18. Yah, he has.......NOT.

feel the Bern indeed.....

[Fred Sanders]

13. Obama drew huge and boisterous crowds of all kinds of folks - what is with the amnesia?

[malaise]

16. Contrary to the establishment views

Socialism is very popular

[LiberalElite]

17. Hold on there - don't get carried away -

Nate Silver in the NYT today says Bernie's peaked. The Surge is Over.

It's apparent to me, who isn't a political hack, that Bernie's just getting started!
