1. Yeah I dont think this number means a damn thing, quite frankly.

Most of the electorate is so disenchanted with politicians, I dont think they give a damn who they endorse.

8. This is anti-Bernie misinformation. We must be discouraged from voting for the candidate

we prefer.
Just do a search, endorsed Bernie Sanders for President

[DCBob]

2. Good grief.. still not single living soul willing to endorse the Bern.

The Sandernistas must be so proud!

12. I view it as a badge of honor, like no Super Pac. n/t

[DCBob]

14. I view it as badge of a loser.

16. Good luck with your imploding candidate and her endorsements. n/t

20. Oh Donny

Already done licking wounds from the debate?

[GitRDun]

3. I don't think it means a ton, I think the Supers will follow the voters

I find it interesting that a guy not even running has 16 and Sanders doesn't have a one.

There was an OP that linked to a Denver post opinion column where the author claimed Sanders was not well liked in Congress. The source was Barney Frank, who said Sanders was a holier than thou kind of guy.

It will be interesting to watch how these numbers evolve if Sanders goes on to win IA and NH and starts picking up steam in places like SC. If folks really don't like him in Congress, it will be fun to watch them twisting themselves into pretzels over whether they can support Sanders or not.

10. Thanks for the update on a meaniingless number

13. O'Malley

Snuck in two nice endorsements. Rich Taylor, Iowa State Senator, and Dan Kelley, Iowa State Representative. I'm not saying that isn't a serious statement for Hillary, but many many endorsements not on that list are significant. I am guessing Hillary has the rest of the Iowa legislature locked up. Lol
