Enough about the illegal classified e-mails kept on her home computer!

I mean for God's sakes....

Don't you know there is an AARP mailing issue right now haunting the campaigns?????

When Bernie says...

He does not think we will get an Obama turnout, do you think this is him being truthful or being coy. I personally don't think he could come out and say yes and leave himself open to criticism if the numbers are lower. But by framing it this way, perhaps he knows something we do not internally about their ground game. Anddd, perhaps that's why the attacks are coming in full force from Clinton?

Also, anyone find that AARP mailer yet?

All is fair unfortunately in politics

And there is nothing that can be done about that.

With that said, I would like to think we are all intelligent folks here. Why? Because we don't belong to that other party. That's for starters.

With that said, do intelligent people really take a look at what's going on and think it's just some coincidence? These are not ridiculous conspiracy theories. The Union flap? LCV? AARP? Do you honestly effing believe that this is just coincidental? That Sanders ran a campaign for almost a year that was devoid of anything like this, and then with a week to go they suddenly said "eh f*ck it" and started breaking rules?

If you do not think this is systematic and coordinated, you have never worked on a campaign and you are very naive about the lengths a candidate will go to win.

In this case? Yes. I am accusing the Clinton campaign of directly orchestrating this. Absolutely. 100%. And I am willing to bet, since Bernie won't back down, they will go full Hiroshima over the next few days. Just watch. It will absolutely get worse.

I myself am not naive also. Do I believe the Sanders campaign takes shortcuts and plays fast and gets their hands dirty when they have to? Absolutely. But you all have to be completely brainwashed (and I honestly respect several Clinton supporters on here DSB, Cali Dem to name a couple) to think that this is just pure happenstance. It is not how politics works.

It absolutely sucks. But this stuff isn't about fairness. It's about winning. Bottom line. Just don't tell me I have a foil hat on. I may be new here but I am not new to the game. I am aware of how things work.

Thanks.

A guilty pleasure of mine

is celebrity gossip. I know, I know. But I love it.

But saw this item today...

http://blindgossip.com/?p=76300#more-76300

I wonder who they are talking about here.....

I know it's not Bernie specific, but thought it would make a fun guessing game for the group!

I don't know about anyone else...

But I always get choked up a little when Bernie gets to the ..."WHEN WE STAND TOGETHER..."

I love my fiancé. And I love this man.

Sanders Camp Suspicious of Microsoft's Influence in Caucus

http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/sanders-campaign-suspicious-corporate-influence-iowa-caucus

Pete D’Alessandro, who is running the Iowa portion of Sanders’ campaign, questioned the motives of the major multinational corporation in an interview with MSNBC: “You’d have to ask yourself why they’d want to give something like that away for free.”

Other Sanders aides noted that Microsoft employees have donated several hundred thousand dollars to Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton over her career, and questioned why the Iowa Democratic Party didn’t partner with a software company based in Iowa.

Anything here? Not sure. But worth a read.

I proudly stand with Natalie Jackson in her endorsement of Bernie Sanders

Natalie Jackson, the family attorney for Trayvon Martin is interviewed and explains why Bernie Sanders is her first choice

One of the things that people get wrong is that he is the idealist or the dreamer. But what we’ve been sold by all of these politicians so far are dreams and ideas; Bernie actually has a solid plan that says, “Listen: True American democracy is the empowerment of the average working class person; not corporate business interests or the privileged top 1% (which the majority of Black America has never been a part of). College should be free for students, universal health care should be available to everyone, corporate money shouldn’t rule governmental action, and government should focus on things that will help everyone not the few.” I don’t think he’s the dreamer. We’ve been sold status quo dreams all of these years and some of us can’t recognize the real from the dream anymore. Bernie Sanders is real, and he’s discussing the things that we need. Especially black people.

This is how you campaign in the week before the first caucus!

By rockin' out with Bon Jovi for $1000 a head, and just $2700 if you want a photo-op!

Take a nice look at Franklin Square Capital while you are at it.

These aren't attacks against Hillary. This is for when you wonder why we claim she is beholden to entities other than her constituents.

Updated Odds from Offshore Betting- For Informational Purposes

To win Presidency

101 Hillary Clinton 10/13
102 Jeb Bush 40/1
103 Donald Trump 11/4
104 Bernie Sanders 5/1 Best odds he has received during this campaign
105 Joe Biden 20/1
106 Marco Rubio 13/2
111 Ted Cruz 16/1
112 Chris Christie 100/1

To Win Iowa Caucus

751 Hillary Clinton 5/11
752 Bernie Sanders 7/4

Again, his best odds of the campaign.

So to be clear, Hillary is still the favorite. But these offshore betting sites (which take on hundreds of thousands of $ in wagers) have been traditionally very accurate in their forecasts in Politics and Entertainment. So, much work to be done still for Bernie to be considered tied or running even.
