because I don't have a cell phone.

At one point he started to say "yuuuge',
and the whole crowd joined in.

I was seated behind him, so I could not see the reaction.
I think he must have smiled though.

He called us a loud crowd, and he was right.
My ears are still ringing! It was fun!

True: while I waited I checked people joining
the end of the line, and my guess is there were
about 50 white people for every AA.
So tomorrow I will have to canvass again.

I honestly don't understand Hillary supporters .. How can they pass up this opportunity to make history?

To feel and channel this positive energy through their own hearts ... The shared feeling that change IS nigh, and coming soon ... How can anybody watch this and NOT wish to be smack in the middle of it?

It's so exhilarating ... Bernie is a marvel, and I am so glad to have the chance to support him ...

Obviously his brilliant campaign was able to get the word out though.

It's a STORM!
