what where the odds then that he would get elected? (remember his acceptance speech).
If Bernie ends up winning, he'll need an ever bigger place than what Obama had - he only had

Go to around 3:00 in this video and note from the comments that:

1) Jimmy Carter started at 1% year before primary.
2) Michael Dukakis started at 1% in polls before primary.
3) Obama at 22-25% versus clinton early with LESS money than Sanders then.
4) Bill Clinton started low too.

intentional dig, but I think the post and the poster are out of place.

compare him to Bernie Sanders.

I like Sen Sanders but not some of his gloating, mean spirited supporters on DU.

Use your head.
