That's nothing new. Go look up releases on Clinton's website and you'll probably find a lot of content reworded slightly. The canidate issuing the first release to the best email addresses, wins the headline race. Of course Clinton would have the best since she's been in high level positions.

The truth is who has staying power 3 days or a week later. I think Sander's response to his "socialism" is going to cause a lot of buzz, which is good. Traditional Democrats have never been good at turning controversy into opportunity, which is what I suspect Sander's just did. We shall see.
