No Blues for Bernie in L.A. Where Sanders Backers Are Still Making Happy Music
SNIP###
"As I stood in a park amid dead-serious Bernie Sanders volunteers on a recent Saturday afternoon, it occurred to me that the media is missing the real story of his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.
There was an upbeat determination—instead of the pessimism reflected in news stories and analyses—at this Sanders rally, in Pan Pacific Park in Los Angeles’ Fairfax district. Basketball was being played at nearby courts, but the Sanders supporters weren’t there for recreation.
Sanders’ double-digit victory in the Wisconsin primary Tuesday showed that his contest with Hillary Clinton is far from over. Still, he trails in national polls and is well behind Clinton in the race for national convention delegates, and the mass media gives him little chance of winning. Take, for example, the New York Times story that more than 15 Sanders associates told reporters he fouled up by not starting out with an aggressive campaign against Clinton. “By the time he caught fire with voters this winter and personally began to believe he could defeat Mrs. Clinton, she was already on her way to building an all but insurmountable delegate lead,” the Times said. The USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll had Clinton leading in California 45 percent to 37 percent as of late March."

Have any of you CA residents been approached about this? I notified the campaign I can accommodate 1 person beginning the last 2 weeks in May and up to the June 7 primary, but that's only one!
