The start of a winning campaign!

1. We're barely out of the cradle

and we are at 24%

Potential voters: Independents (40%), Lefty Dems (hefty chunk of 32%), and sane Repubs (28%) who are starting to listen.

Focus Groups: Millennials (a plus), AA (work in progress), Latino vote (searching for radio, social media outlets), disgusted unregistered voters (share the Bernie buzz), the Woman's Vote (some of are most avid supporters, Hello Sabrina) and LGBT (we welcome all)

Any guesses what our final %'s will reach?

3. You're absolutely right. People have only been looking at the Dem base polls and he's already

taken at least 15% of that 32%.

But his strength is going to be the Independent vote, and I doubt any of the Status Quo candidates have a chance of getting much, if any of that vote.

42% of registered voters are now Independents, and I know Bernie was thinking of that when he decided to run.

And as you point out, there is that huge non-voting demograph.

I have already signed up one of that last group for Bernie, she is going to register just to vote for him. She will not vote for anyone else though.

Yes, he can win, in a landslide if they don't try to stop him and let the people choose.

2. Check out this NYT article. Won't let me copy and paste.

4. Thank you, someone posted in an OP here and I just read it.

So he's moved from 'doesn't have a chance' to 'watch out for the one in your rear view mirror'. Lol, we told them so! They are so out of touch with the American people, it's amazing.

7. one of my friends is a communications director for a NC community college

and he posted an article about Bernie on FB and said he was voting for him. I read through his replies, all of them from professors and educators and every one of them said they were supporting Bernie. They hate this education reform shit being pushed by some Democrats and love the free college idea.

5. Hiring 30 paid workers by midsummer,

Don't forget about the 200,000 plus volunteers that can be organized state by state.

6. He's just getting started! I really don't think he was expecting this sort turnout.

8. Most of them are not waiting to be organized, they are working for free on Social Media

and are mainly responsible for the crowds he's getting because they are letting people know all over the internet where he is going to be.

He has an army of unpaid, enthusiastic, volunteers in every state working night and day to spread the word.

And he will need some paid workers to handle all that is going to be going on, organizing events, getting him on TV Shows (he's going to be on Seth Myers Late Night show tomorrow night, a great way to reach more people).

So far, without Corporate money, he's doing far, far better than I think anyone thought.

10. What's been done so far has been exceptional (I'm jumping with joy),

but some people are not soloists and feel more comfortable in an organizational structure.

It takes all kinds from many walks of life to create a revolution

9. Cool! I know the two people in the lower right corner

they had asked if I wanted to ride down to it with them but I needed to attend my grandniece's dance recital today and couldn't make it.

I called them to let them know about the picture - they arrived at 8:30 this morning.

11. That is so great, they were right in the front row. They had to have been early to be able to get

such a great seat.

Nice that they invited you too.

They must have been surprised that their photo is all over the internet!
