Feeling the Bern in Colorado

Here’s how many unaffiliated voters became Dems before the Colorado deadline
Colorado Independent - Feb. 4, 2016

During a Feb. 3 event for Bernie Sanders in Colorado Springs, field director Josh Phillips told supporters the campaign had convinced 3,000 non-Democratic voters to change their registration and become Democrats before a Jan. 4 deadline so they could caucus for Sanders on March 1.

If true, that’s a majority of voters who made the switch— at least from being unaffiliated— across Colorado in the three months leading up to the deadline.

... for Bernie down here in the Springs. Bumper stickers for Hillary and the GOP nominees are few and far between.

If Bernie can win here in this bible-thumpin', war-crazed, gun-obsessed madhouse, then he can win anywhere.

I convinced three people, that I know for sure, to switch to Dem to caucus for Bernie.
