Bernie is burning up New Hampshire...

(from an email)

Xxx -

The last time we emailed you about a poll in New Hampshire six weeks ago, Bernie had cut Hillary Clinton’s once-large lead to a manageable ten point spread.

Now a new poll released just yesterday shows our campaign has closed to within four points in New Hampshire: 43% to 39%.

That's not all. New polls in Iowa, Minnesota, and Washington show our campaign with all the momentum.

We can win this thing, Xxx — but only if we’re in it together. Please contribute $50 to Bernie’s campaign today.
People ask all the time how we’ve done so well in the face of such long odds, and the answer is simple: when we all stand together, there is nothing we cannot accomplish.

And that goes for winning the nomination, and the White House… but only if we keep it up.

Let's go.

Definitely plan to donate again, as he is not receiving the billions the others are planning on taking from Corporations.

The importance of this shouldn't be understated. When the candidates are in the same towns and states campaigning, and on the news talking about the same issues, is when the majority of people who've been polled really get their first good look at the candidates. Then comes the debates and the hard questions will be become more part of everyday discussion. The HRC campaign is designed from the ground up to win the general election, it's not equipped to answer why so many progressives find it lacking in appeal.

Having truckloads of money when running against a Koch employee doesn't raise as many questions as it will when running against a primary opponent who's funded by the 99%. The Clinton campaign is going to have to really engage with these primary voters and it will be held in comparison to the Sanders campaign. Every day there will be a massive amount of reporting on how the candidates are connecting to the voters. I think this will be an amazing story.
