Here's a MoveOn email from this eve - boy are they pumped!

Dear MoveOn member,

Ladies and gentlemen, we've got ourselves a race!

Today, Bernie Sanders will leave Nevada with just a handful fewer delegates than Hillary Clinton. This state was supposed to be a Clinton "firewall."1

He won by a landslide in New Hampshire. He virtually tied in Iowa. And recent national polls show the race is a dead heat, with some polls even showing Sanders in the lead.2,3

A real race is on, people. It's really, really on.

South Carolina and Super Tuesday are right around the corner. If you haven't yet donated to this historic movement, then now is when you're needed most. And if you've already given, then now is the time to double down.

Six months ago, almost no one was predicting that Bernie Sanders would be a serious contender to win the nomination.

Now it's a whole new ballgame.

But here's the thing: The stunning performance of the Sanders campaign so far is being powered by millions of grassroots contributions—not by corporations and billionaires.

Bernie doesn't have a Super PAC. And he's told Wall Street that he doesn't want their millions. So he's counting on us to make millions of small donations averaging $27 each.

Will you chip in to help make sure MoveOn and the Bernie Sanders campaign have the resources we need to keep Bernie's political revolution going?

Yes! I'll chip in to help win the Democratic primary, the White House, and take our country back from the billionaire class.

Thanks for all you do.

P.S. As Bernie Sanders recently wrote,

"I want you to imagine eight years from now:

The minimum wage is a living wage and students are graduating college without crushing debt stifling their ability to pursue the career of their dreams.

Health care is recognized as a right for every man, woman, and child, and the United States is leading the world in fighting climate change.

There is no bank that is too big to fail, no banker too powerful to jail, and we’ve leveled the playing field so that the billionaire class is no longer able to buy and sell our candidates and elections."

It's a beautiful dream. But it can only become our reality if we all do our part:
