First of all, Minnesota is the state that gave Dennis Kucinich his largest primary season vote (17%) in 2004.

Second, I think Sanders has more fans than the MSM would like to admit. When the NY Times wrote a somewhat condescending article about how Sanders appeals mostly to seniors, the online readers' response was overwhelmingly in favor of Sanders.

He talks about issues that people are actually concerned about, has always done so, and has slowly built a base of supporters over the years.

When he said he wants to end NCLB, I hope that lit a fire under the country's teachers. That is a very BIG deal!

As I've been saying, the crowds are growing rapidly at every stop.

Is the a posting of his schedule someplace? I would be curious of his upcoming stops.
