Before voting in the primary, if you can, see "Tomorrowland".

The message it broadcasts is very important to consider.

Bloomberg or Ventura running for President in the GE? A possible spoiler.

I'm not joking about this. Ventura said, on the Nightly Show, that he will run for President if Bernie doesn't win the nomination and we know Bloomberg will make a go at it if Bernie wins the nomination.
I guess I'm asking if you think Jesse will end up being a possible spoiler, seeing Bernie fans vote for him over Hillary. It also asks the question in that respect if Jesse might bring enough pressure to bear that she will have to move to the left.
I know that Jill Stein and others have been widely ignored but Jesse has gotten quite a media presence and with the general dissatisfaction and accompanying support with Bernie and Trump I can't help but wonder if the DNC won't be able to revert to politics as usual.

The problem with DNC chairmanship in general.

This is not a general indictment of DWS but a general problem with the chair's appointments. First, we need a full-time chair like the RNC has with no other responsibilities.
Secondly, we need someone who is not from the coast. Yes, I am picking on some from the coasts. I'm not saying all of you but I think there's a tendency for those on the coasts, be it East or West, to lose sight of the Midwest and be almost oblivious to most of with a few exceptions. Terry McAuliffe came from Virginia, DWS comes from Florida and James Carville came from the South(Louisiana). Also, there is the benefit of accent. There's a reason why they generally push for news anchors with a Midwest accent because it TENDS to be negligible and likely helps people focus on the news. I think this would help generally get people on the same page faster in terms of issues when they're speaking. Lastly, besides all these reasons, when is the last time we have had someone FROM the Midwest as chair of the DNC?
I think this can especially help this primaries as well as primaries across the board in the coming years, not just this time hence why I posted it in primaries.

Your primary fight song.

I think most people here know I'm for Bernie. My Bernie fight song is off KRS-ONE's Sneak Attack album. "Ain't No Stoppin' what we've done, don't give up this fight is won". I posted that line because I can't remember the song's name off the top of my head.

What's your campaign fight song? Regardless of candidate, Hillary or Bernie, please post.

New Hampshire traffic jam...we need a voting holiday.

Seriously, how many people are not able to reach the polls because of work?

Ability to access the Internet: helping Seniors and Minorities to learn about Bernie.

I've seen posts by Hillary supporters about how seniors and minorities overwhelmingly support Hillary, especially the latter. I think the problem that we, as Bernie supporters have, is that the MSM on TV and a lot of newspapers have constantly slammed Bernie. These media venues have access to more communities still, especially the Seniors and minorities, when compared to the Internet. In this way, they've constantly see one picture of Bernie, Chris Matthews and others have sought to propagandize people against Bernie.
The Internet has immunized and made many aware and support Bernie. We need to teach those who may have problems using a computer how to use one and access the internet. As for minorities, we know how many are centered in the Urban core which tends to have awful internet access. Give them that access so they can see what Bernie is about and that number in support of Hillary will shrink, especially when they read her backing of Goldman Sachs, her statements against Bernie on single payer, etc.
Even if they still end up voting Hillary at least you'll have insulated them about more MSM bullshit.

Nate Silver and Iowa primaries.

Did he even have this in the cards? With his polling software? I'm really wondering what he said after the tie.
