37. Well, welcome to DU and the DK bus!
You picked a powerful username (or is that your real name?) and you've also picked a powerful candidate!

When you feel gloomy about where DK is in the polling, consider how relentlessly Media Inc has worked to 'vanish' him altogether. From the moment he declared, the punditocracy has been dissing him as a lunatic fringie, a vanity candidate, a no-hoper...and working like hell to make sure their 'impartial judgement' comes true.

The comment by 67-y.o. Lena Weiner-Sorgman in Maine is exemplary: 'How come the press has written him off? I'm very, very impressed.'. She'd heard about everyone else's positions, even Sharpton's, but not DK's. What does it mean that she, a lifelong Dem activist in local politics, had heard more from the media about Al Sharpton's positions than about DK's?
