122. Where was Obama 2 years before the primaries?

Lol, I'm guessing Bernie will have the Unions and Teachers and Nurses and all those who have warned the Dem Party to no longer count on their votes unless they start standing up for them.

Bernie is just getting started.

I like that he is making Campaign Financing a big issue. He's a smart man, he will be up against billions of Corporate dollars and the best way to fight that, is to make it the issue it should be. It has corrupted our entire system and we know that the public agrees.

I think he knows some things you don't know right now or he would not be running.

The winds of change are blowing and it's way past time.

Enough with the inequality that is destroying this country and others since Corporations began buying elections.

It will be an uphill fight, but I think Bernie is going to surprise a lot of people.

Kucinich is a great Democrat, right on all the issues, but he was way ahead of his time. Things are different today.

I have a feeling Bernie is going to get that all-important Independent vote.
