Cokie Roberts, for once in a very long time, gave a fair assessment of the issue of the BLM event and followed up with favorable comments about the "huge" turnout at the two following events. She seems to have a view of Bernie that is not common in recent parlance about his campaign... being not-so-critical and sounding respectful for once.

And I don't watch teevee either, but I'm not at all sorry about that.

But I DO see the problem... coming.

Pretty soon indoor arenas won't be big enough. Think about it...from now through early fall most baseball and football stadiums are going to be booked.

Where the heck are Sanders staff going to find a venues to hold everyone?

Will Sanders have to turn to $2700 a plate dinners to bring down the numbers of attendees?

USA Today online...zip.

Los Angeles Times actually has a Bernie article online, in Politics...but nothing in the print edition.

OregonLive (the Oregonian website) has a big splash on the front page...paper edition? Anyone?

Looks like social media and our word of mouth is going to have to shoulder the bulk of action for a while yet.

George Bush Jr. reporting for jury duty. It's as if the 28,000 people and the rally never happened.
