This has become more than a national event.

We are fighting for the soul of the Democratic party and for our last chance at democracy.

I appreciate the world's weighing in on this.... It's only the world who benefits.

The vigor and intellect that Bernie demonstrates every single day would be amazing in a 50-year-old. This is another of those "Attack him on his strengths" things, I think.

I think, just like the "Socialist Jew" moniker everyone seems to fear coming from the Right if and when Bernie wins the nomination, we'd do best not to give in to their fear-mongering and just ignore it. Or laugh at them, reminding them how effective Muslim Kenyan Socialist was.

and so should we, along with his being a Jew, a democratic socialist, a son of an immigrant with a name change to fit in. There is nothing to fear, but rather celebrate. If you've not seen the SNL skit, watch it and take it to heart.
