1. Whoo-hoo!

[Kalidurga]

2. I am overwhelmed

I thought it was going to be a bit closer than that. This is such great news. I don't care what Hillary's supporters say. Something something about insider endorsements I think it will be.

[SmittynMo]

3. Almost 9 to 1.

Quite impressive. Are you ready for a political revolution? I am!!!!

[Kalidurga]

5. I was born ready

some people are born with silver spoons. I was born holding a picket sign.

[abakan]

16. Wow!

Didn't that hurt? Your mother?

[Kalidurga]

26. it was a teeny tiny sign

[Enthusiast]

28. LOL!

[Sherman A1]

4. K&R!

[geardaddy]

6. DFA has yet to announce it on their website

I know I got an email from Howard Dean urging people to vote for Hillary in the poll. I hope they don't try to take it away from Bernie.

On edit, it looks like they did announce.

8. He doesn't run group anymore

his brother does.and he is more of a progressive.

truthfully word of endorsements come out before they offically do it.

[geardaddy]

9. Yep, I forgot.

His brother Jim runs it.

[hootinholler]

7. I have to wonder how Howard is taking the news

It must sting a little after having endorsed Hillary to have an organization you founded vote to endorse a person running against your candidate.

[TIME TO PANIC]

10. Excellent!

[Omaha Steve]

11. Let's see the full picture

[Fearless]

12. But isn't that poll terribly unscientific???!?!111111

[Duval]

23. I voted in this poll and so did my husband. Yayyy!

Thanks Omaha Steve!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

33. I wonder how many Hillary supporters voted more than once.

[PADemD]

37. At least one.

[CharlotteVale]

13. K&R

[Fawke Em]

14. But it's an online poll!

It means NOTHING.

Don't you know that Hillary fans can find the time to sit around carping on a website all day, but never seem to find the time to click on a link and vote in a poll!



Seriously, this is great!

When is DFA supposed to announce, officially, on their website (and what have the Hillarians been saying, really?)

[JonLeibowitz]

17. They have been saying that anybody with 10 e-mails can vote 10 times

They ignore that 77% of existing DFA members (before the vote) chose Sanders, so that wouldn't even have affected the result.

[Bubzer]

18. ...

[LiberalElite]

15. Another poll that theyll say doesn't

matter.

[ChiciB1]

19. OH, Goodie, Goodie... A Great Day For Bernie & His Supporters!

This and the CWA endorsement!

It's been said about Bernie Sanders, NEVER count him out! Well, I'm ALL IN!

[bl968]

20. Don't buy the Clinton machine's hype!

The only polls Clinton wins, are landline phone polls which have been manipulated through the use of specifically chosen demographics to get exactly the results the pollster wanted. If she really was 30 points ahead of Bernie with the voters, it would be shown by her excited supporters flocking to show their support in these online polls. They aren't there. Why because she has 10-20% support but the Corporate Media, and the powers that be are trying to make you think it's more like 60%. Well she is gonna lose and lose big.

[WillyT]

21. HUGE K & R !!! - THANK YOU !!!

[Duval]

22. I am thrilled!

Feel the Bern!!

[Divernan]

24. How Sweet It Is!

[highprincipleswork]

25. Fantastic! This is amazing. With results spelled out so clearly in attached weblink.

This is how you win. When the results look like this, really hard to flip it in another direction.

[dorkzilla]

27. Yahoooooooooooo!

That's awesome, but honestly not surprising!

[Enthusiast]

29. Yay, Bernie!

[LiberalArkie]

30. But it doesn't mean anything coming from non-DNC organization, or maybe because it

was announced by a non American news source or maybe it doesn't mean anything because it isn't a "Democratic" organization?

[SoapBox]

31. K & R!

[liberalnarb]

32. HOLY SHHHHHIIIIITTTTT!!!!!!!!!

I can't express how great this feels. To have been one of the people who voted for him to get the endorsement!!!!!!!!!

[in_cog_ni_to]

34. HUGE, HUGE WIN for Bernie!

Actually, I had convinced myself there was no way Howard Dean's DFA was going to endorse Bernie even if he did actually win - but they did! At least that's one honorable organization we know of.

Bernie won WITH HUGE NUMBERS! I think this is how the Nation will go. Big, big numbers for Bernie.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

First thing I did was come here! So relieved and happy.

P.S. The Internet has Bernie's back!

[Chathamization]

36. Hope everyone joins DFA, it's really a great group focused on getting real progressives into office.

And 87.9% is very impressive. I was expecting him to win, but winning by that much sends a pretty powerful message.

[davidpdx]

38. Cool

At least some organizations don't believe in the Clinton coronation.

[JimDandy]

39. DFA is the DEMOCRATIC BASE. This simply confirms what's being observed

on the ground by precinct reps of County Democratic Parties.

And to top off the huge, beginning body of support in the Dem Party for Bernie, the phone banking is having great success in reaching new supporters to get them to the caucuses and out to vote in the primaries.

The Clinton supporters in my local county party are being overwhelmed by Bernie supporters who are using up all the base's normal phone banking energy to make calls to get Bernie elected.

The complacency of Hillary and her supporters and the lack of Media attention is what allowed Bernie's support to swell under the radar. I decided a month ago to not say one thing more to the Hillary supporters to dissuade them of Hillary's 'inevitability' as it became clear that thinking was working in his favor.

GO BERNIE!!!
