Go Bernie!

[Joe the Revelator]

1. That is very true, there has never been a front runner candidate with less enthusiasm...

...around their campaign than Hillary '16

[arlington.mass]

20. Hill has plenty of enthusiasm

She just blew into town on Friday for a 1%er fundraiser and there was plenty of enthusiasm there

Lots of people, no, but the checks were flowing


Seriously, is there a greater contrast than the way these two candidates spent their weekend?

[MannyGoldstein]

29. Hey Arlington! Newton here!

Welcome to DU!

[Fawke Em]

2. We are super.

And, judging by the crowds, we definitely are a pack!

[restorefreedom]

4. That's a great pic!

Weird to see everyone standing at the same level instead of in the stadium seats.

SANDERSTORM!!!

[Helen Borg]

8. How can Hillary supporters

argue that is a bad thing?

[cui bono]

13. Like this:

21. Lol! Exactly!

[SheilaT]

19. Oh, but they do.

They've been posting a piece of nonsense about why Hillary meeting with four people is so much better than Bernie's crowds. I don't feel like locating one of those threads, but you might stumble across one.

[LiberalArkie]

28. Hillary meeting with 4 important rich people is always better than 10,000

nobodies.

23. Usually with a Hitler reference. (nt)

25. Like I have said before.

Now is the time for a real progressive populist movement, but the message needs to be clear and not overly complex and it needs to be repeated over and over to drive it home into the minds of the people.

Then Bernie will win.

[Enthusiast]

6. Go, Bernie!!!!

[rpannier]

7. Big Crowd

Looking good for Bernie
Make sure they're registered and get em to the polls

[Divernan]

9. Boston crowd: +26,000, another 4,000 in overflow area

Note that at the end of grueling day, Sanders took time, as he always does,
to go to the overflow area and address them in person.

http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2015/10/03/sanders-draws-big-crowds-massachusetts-campaign-swing/VJQi4dKZYpJoaEeitAQdDO/story.html?event=event25#comments

The Boston Globe reported a crowd of only 20,000, which would mean that there were many empty seats while the major newspapers reported that there was a capacity crowd of over 25,000 with about 4,000 who could not get in.

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/oct/03/bernie-sanders-boston-racism-gun-reform

Indeed the capacity is 26,285.

It was the third-largest rally Sanders has held this year, smaller only than events in Portland, Ore., and Los Angeles in August. To put it in context, the number of people who showed up to see Sanders at the convention center was nearly three times the population of Montpelier, the capital of the US senator’s home state of Vermont.

It is also the largest rally for a presidential primary candidate in recent Massachusetts history, topping 10,000 people drawn to Boston Common eight years ago by Barack Obama.

Earlier Saturday, Sanders addressed a rally in Springfield, where 6,000 showed up to hear him, according the operations manager at the MassMutual Center. On the way from Vermont to Massachusetts, he also spoke to about 120 people involved with New Hampshire State Employees Association in Manchester.

12. The beauty of this to me is, that try as they might,

the media cannot hide the simple truth that

BERNIE IS ON FIRE #FeelTheBern #BreakTheClassCeiling

[sabrina 1]

14. No he doesn't, he's smashing the lies we've told about 'needing that money' in order to 'win'

AND that those who take, are not obliged to those who give it. What utter nonsense.

Go Bernie!!

[beam me up scottie]

16. Dang! Look at that crowd!

That is incredible, thank you for posting!

K & R!

[Uncle Joe]

17. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Jesus Malverde.

[Doctor_J]

18. there's more commies than I thought!

Go Comrades!

[NealK]

22. K&R

[senz]

24. K&R -- Bernie knows what's happening!

[AtomicKitten]

26. The turnout is nothing short of spectacular considering he's endured a virtual MSM blackout.

This reflects the power of social media and it is awesome.

30. SuperPac? we don't need no stinkin' SuperPac!!!

[Duckfan]

31. I can't imagine what was going through Bernie's mind....

...when he firsts walks on the stage to see a humongous room of people all there to hear his message. He had to

be saying something more than wow.

My gawd that place looks like a fireakin military airplane hanger. How many 777's could you fit in there?
