I didn't know the population of Portland Maine when
I posted that OP yesterday, but someone posted it
later in the replies..

The Bern is contagious .. in the best of ways.

2. I have it on good authority that some Bernie-backers drove in all the way from L-A ...

... which is something they are very reluctant to do. See Portland, being a big city, has all those traffic problems so they avoid it if at all possible.

3. I wonder if Bernie will fill Providence Park or the like if he later visits Portland, Oregon...

I'm sure he'll stay far away from Nike if he comes here, where he'd cause far more traffic problems than Obama did when he visited Nike a couple of months ago, not to mention Nike probably not wanting him near them either.

Will 22,000 capacity of Providence Park be enough for Bernie here or will he need a bigger venue?

6. Lewiston-Auburn is only about 30 miles away, right down the 'pike.

As long as you avoid Rte. 1 in the summer, no problem!

18. Yeah, but my friends at CMMC don't like to go to Portland, 'cause it's "too big."

4. If That Ratio Of Supporters Holds Over The U.S. Population......

is that enough votes for Bernie to win?

[Fearless]

7. Seriously? Do you expect to include chlidren and the infirmed in your rhetoric?

Or the fact that Hillary is exciting exactly no one right now?

To be fair if 7500/66000... runs out to about 33 million votes extrapolated nationally.

And that's 1.5 years before the election.

Two months ago he would have had what? 2k votes nationally?

I think I'm ok with where we stand.

Thanks.

9. Did I Say Something To Offend You?.....

That was kind of a snarky response. I'm sorry if I touched a nerve though. Please forgive me.

And just so you know - I donated to Bernie's campaign already and yesterday I ordered two Bernie t-shirts to broadcast my support for him.

[Fearless]

16. Sorry, most questions around here are snark themselves as if late

He does not yet have enough votes. But he will.

5. LOOKS LIKE PACMAN

Eating up all the D - Opposition!

8. *Wac-a, wac-a, wac-a, wac-a*

ber-er-nie!, ber-er-nie!

wac-a, wac-a, wac-a, wac-a,

ber-er-nie!

13. Loved that game, but for all the

quarters I fed it.

[AllyCat]

10. Then he did better than 10%...Madison didn't get that percentage

We had numbers, but not the ratio.

It's awesome, isn't it?
