So I was at a wake tonight for a long time DFLer

It was a veritable who's who of the local DFL and everyone was buzzing about Bernie and the buzz is good (even from the hacks). Everyone was happy to feel like there's a reason to attend the caucuses next March (not that any of us would miss them, but it's more fun when you feel good about it).

Several of these people were Clinton supporters 8 years ago.

Strictly anecdotal and it is group of political junkies but I was encouraged given that I would have expected about half of them to be Clinton supporters.
