I loved hearing Susan Sarandon's voice well up with emotion as she introduced Bernie in Mason City

It is true that the cynical and supposed "pragmatic" people are somewhat immune to his authenticity.....but the majority of people are not.

The false attacks and the false representations of his record fall apart under close scrutiny......ultimately, they function more as bait,
drawing people in to look at him

the more exposure that he gets, the more powerful he becomes.

By now, she probably despaired of seeing someone like Bernie run again in her lifetime.

And the Iraq War was a big issue for her. She made a TV commercial with her own money, endign with something like, Before we go to war with Iraq, I would like to know what Iraq did to us, wouldn't you?"

Doesn't she? Doesn't she?

She's for Bernie because she hates women!
If she didn't hate women, she'd be for Hillary.

blah blah blah (please note sarcasm)

(just filling in for the Hillary-bots here,
they don't seem to be up yet!)

THANK YOU, SUSAN!
Think I'll go watch 'Thelma & Louise' now...

See link from CSPAN (At one hour, it takes a while to buffer.)

Oddly, Bernie begins with a horse voice (after endless campaign stops including a PBO meeting in DC), but keeps talking until he sounds eloquent. It's like: the more he speaks, the more he is energized.
