Is tonight the biggest stage in Bernie's lifetime?

[Admiral Loinpresser]

At least by numbers, apparently he has never been seen by so many at one time, I bet. Tonight he will be on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. When Colbert started his new gig a couple of weeks ago, his debut got an audience of 6.6 million. Perhaps that will give him a name recognition bump and make him even "cooler."

All in all, he just might accelerate in name recognition, especially in conjunction with the Time cover. This will facilitate even faster growth in the South. The horse race may be changing in our favor. Hillary is ramping up a PR campaign. Let's see if she can equal Bernie's mojo.

1. Colbert is about to get the Bernie Bump

Watch out the Colbert Bump feeds the Bernie Bump which in turn feeds the Colbert Bump, hell it could turn into a feedback loop and become a singularity.

6. I hope Colbert gives Bernie plenty of room to show his real stuff.

And I think he will. Colbert has always been about respect towards everyone.

7. If he mentions expanding Social Security you'll see the media freak out.

8. Audience went nuts in the opening when Colbert announced Bernie!

Hell of a buildup too! Bernie comes on next after the commercials.
