The Iowa and New Hampshire numbers are amazing, and while he still has a ways to go in South Carolina he is looking significantly better there than he has in previous polls.

This latest CBS poll is great news. Overconfidence is to be avoided, Hillary has an incredible amount of money, infrastructure, allies in positions of power, and a large head start. I also see Biden as a threat to Bernie if Hillary can't stop her free-fall.

I think it's possible to pull this off, if we all do everything we can and don't let up.

I thought Biden was basically trying to get people to draw him into the race, the whole thing felt like a P.R. campaign effort to me. Watched it with my son who thought the same. We'll see.

Certainly good news for Sanders but I'm wondering about the dynamic there...

Clinton falling under 50% is yet another break through an important psychological barrier.

No idea whether the recent defectors to Biden will go back to Hillary if he doesn't enter the race.

She'll have to turn to her benefactors to cough up more dough to put in the tank and fix the transmission.

The tide is turning!

The more Bernie is seen and heard, the more he'll move up in the polls. It's just a given.

To know Bernie, is to LOVE Bernie!

Obviously I don't like the results, but I would be skeptical of their results regardless.
