24. never mind that Hillary has spent more time living in the South

than a goodly number of those of us who live in NC. NC is one of the most diverse states in the country in terms of states of origin.

30. "Instead of trying to pander to them."

Ex-actly. Give me that over a goofy Thx Box any day.

14. More from the overflow room:

20. waitresses in Georgia make $2.13/hour

[LibDemAlways]

22. I know of a young woman who went to NYC

last year looking to find parts as an actress. Meantime, she took a job waitressing at a spaghetti joint in the area of Times Square and makes the minimum tipped wage in New York of five bucks an hour. Servers in 17 states still make the federal minimum tipped wage of $2.13 hourly. It's up to the discretion of the customer to tip of course, and when they don't or leave a miserly amount, they are making an already bad job situation worse.

15. I'm going to guess there are about 6,000 to 7,000 there.

The arena he's in - the Special Events Center - seats 4,500, but it's 5,000 with those standing - and there looks to be another 1 to 2,000 in the overflow room.

#BernieinNC for you Twitter fans.

[Luminous Animal]

16. Holy Hell! He's rockin' the house.

It has moved me to tears.

[Fawke Em]

17. Me, too. I'm "next door" in Tennessee and it warms my heart to see so many

of my fellow Southerners out supporting this mensch of a man!

Crowd just went nucking futz again when he said a kid gets jail time for smoking marijuana, but banksters don't get any time for ruining the economy.

[TheFarS1de]

18. 8,000

Is the current estimate .

[Fawke Em]

19. Thank you!

I knew it was much higher than the 5,000 the place holds. I was just impressed the overflow rooms were as jam-packed as the main arena.

[Fawke Em]

26. 9,129!!!!

See below!

[LWolf]

21. I'm sorry I missed it.

Live, at least. I'll catch a replay.

[Old Crow]

23. WHOOOOAAAAAH!

That is jaw-dropping. When Bernie's overflow room is bigger than the main audiences of the other candidates, that's a pretty clear indication that something special is going on.

We may have a rare and precious chance to nudge American history in a positive direction. Please let that be the case. Our current trajectory is ruinous.

BERNIE SANDERS 2016!

[Fawke Em]

25. Official head count: 9,129!!!!!

Truly jaw-dropping.

*Reported by the Elon University's Pendulum newspaper. Elon is about 30 miles outside of Greensboro.

27. Bernie!

Far out!

28. If Bernie comes back to NC...

.... they'd better book the coliseum proper. You're looking at his next overflow venue.

[L0oniX]

29. He's so good for the country even Hillary came to the event and cheered for Bernie.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

31. The South is rising
