Anyhow, people noticed:

once they get to know him. He gives real, honest answers to questions and he has a long record of support for what he believes in.

The reason that the GOP has had the success they've had is that they aren't, as a rule, wishy-washy. Americans like that. Bernie is our chance to show America a candidate from the left who believes what he says. It's going to be an interesting election, and I think we might have some big surprises.

anything, he just tells the truth. He looks like an adult when he schooling the media eg, on what political campaigns are supposed to be all about. Everytime I see a comment from someone hearing him for the first time, they sound so excited 'omg, who is this guy, I love him'.

So yes, once people get to know him they will love him.

I think it will be very interesting when he becomes the nominee to see which down-ticket candidates embrace him and which still spew the Corporatist mantras.

We could have a monumental cleansing of this party!!!

registered Dems, will be voting for the progressive candidates that the party leadership doesn't support.

So it's not just going to be Bernie, we will know who to vote for for Congress and the Senate.

I agree with you, I think there will be a huge cleaning out of Corporate funded candidates.
