Bernie Sanders

I didn't see this in the group, though I may have missed it. From The Tampa Bay Times:
The biggest obstacle to Hillary Clinton winning the Democratic presidential nomination is a rumpled, white-haired grandfather who doesn't even call himself a member of the Democratic party.
Sen. Bernie Sanders has no entourage or bevy of political advisers. He represents a state with half the population of Hillsborough County, and he has long been viewed by the national media as a quaint, fringie a self-described democratic socialist, of all things! from the People's Republic of Vermont.
But contrary to conventional wisdom about the Democratic presidential contest, people are listening to presidential candidate Sanders. A lot of people.

Decent write up, with the usual caveat about Clinton's lead in the polls.
