At Sanders Rally, Voters Need Little Convincing (Des Moines Register)
Terrific article and some nice video at the link. Tons of great info about Bernie's large crowds and enthusiasm!
"A Bernie Sanders rally is one of the more difficult places to spot Iowa’s uncommitted voters.
His crowds of staunch liberals, independents, students and working-class Democrats often come not to be convinced, but to be affirmed.
At campaign events last week, hundreds of supporters lined up outside of convention centers, school buildings and fairgrounds across southeast Iowa in below-freezing temperatures. Many donned white and blue campaign T-shirts, buttons and stickers. Others lined up behind folding tables to purchase their own gear."

"Sanders continues to draw some of the biggest crowds in Iowa. Last week, about 800 people in Ottumwa turned out to see him and more than 1,000 came to a campaign-hosted New Year's Eve party in downtown Des Moines. Sanders' biggest Iowa crowd came in July, when 2,500 attended a rally in Council Bluffs."

And for those who don't want to think about the Rose Bowl, it's now basketball season, and the Hawkeyes are winning there a lot the last few weeks, beating two top 15 teams just last week including #1 Michigan State. Bernie and Hawkeyes winning this month and next! That's what it is about!
