Most national polls still give Clinton the lead. But that reference to a new Bloomberg Poll—which put Sanders at 49 percent to 48 percent for Clinton—drew wild cheers from the Madison crowd, as did the senator’s outlining of a scenario for how to get from here to there.

“We think we have a lot of momentum,” Sanders told the Wisconsinites. “We want to take that momentum here to this beautiful state, and if we do well here in Wisconsin, we do well in New York State, we do well in California, you know what, we’re on our way to the White House.”

The senator will get pushback against that sort of talk. He’ll have to fight for Wisconsin, where Clinton is set to mount a serious campaign that takes her to the state’s largest cities and several smaller ones. And New York, the state Clinton represented for eight years, will be a tough nut for Sanders to crack.

But Cantor, the executive director of a labor-backed progressive party with deep roots in New York politics, says he is convinced that “The political revolution is growing. Every day, Bernie Sanders is inspiring Americans to take the brave step of voting for the future we want to see, and not just what the political and financial elite tells us we’re allowed to have.”

1. Love the last remark...

..."Every day, Bernie Sanders is inspiring Americans to take the brave step of voting for the future we want to see, and not just what the political and financial elite tells us we’re allowed to have."

Nicely stated.
