Bernie Sanders says his campaign will look beyond the early primary states of Iowa and New Hampshire and place resources in states that will vote on Super Tuesday, buoyed by polls that show him eclipsing Democratic presidential rival Hillary Clinton.

“I think we have a whole lot of momentum in this campaign,” Sanders said Thursday morning as he sidestepped a question of whether his poll numbers are forcing Democratic party leaders to address his campaign. “We’re feeling pretty good.”



At least five Southern states, including Texas, are expected to hold primary elections on March 1.

Sanders’ remarks came as he held a press conference at the Capitol to pitch a plan to cut the cost of prescription drugs, railing against what he said was a “greedy” pharmaceutical industry that is “killing Americans.”

“The middle class of this country is disappearing,” Sanders said. He said he plans to file legislation that would require Medicare to bargain for cheaper prices and would allow individuals, pharmacists and wholesalers to import prescription drugs from Canadian pharmacies, where he said prices are 40 percent less than in the U.S.

7. There's a good chance it good end up like 2008

Where after the first 4 states, momentum doesn't matter much and it's a fight over every delegate.

as his strategy in the article linked here:

I'll add that what momentum does now and in coming months is bring in the money, volunteers and exposure to enable him to expand his operations into more and more early primary states. Growing like a snowball all the way.
