My local news just covered Bernie.

(Channel 30 - ABC) This is the first I've seen of any local coverage about Bernie. They talked about his rise in popularity and the NH polls They played a small clip of Bernie in L.A. where he's saying that the millionaires and billionaires can't have it all. (One of my favorites.) It seems the difference, at least locally, is that NH poll. They also mentioned Hillary's email issues.

Things are getting very interesting.

on KIRO in Seattle, the 11 at 11, there was a blurb about this weekend but a LOT about Sanders new gains.
Then the Trump comparison....oye.
BUT STILL!

I think the black out is breaking whether the media powers that be want it to or not.

But no matter where he goes, he's like a broken record (that we like in politics) that says the same thing. One might assume he really means it and intends to do his best to implement the issues.

with their emails that email-gate has been a non-issue for me. Certainly is not on my list of reason why I support Bernie.

bigger deal to a lot of other Dems than it really is. It is dripping red meat for the GOP, though. And shoots down the meme that things would be easier for Hillary in the general election. Just because she handles things gracefully - that's not important. The GOP voters will lap up things from many years ago. They are fully prepared.
We would see Monica and everything else they can muster. Nature of the beast.

Whitewater and monica and benghAAAAAHzi and a couple others....it's ill.
I don't put much stock in the email controversy overall, though a mean little bit of me wants it to make her react poorly or sonething will be the gossip hounds celebrity flesh....and slip under Bernies poll numbers. But it's just a tiny bit that I try and ignore (bit occasionally indulge).
I believe he's strong enough to win over any of the right. We just have to kick the primary.
