70. That's what they said about Bernie, but they weren't counting on the PEOPLE were they? As for

what they are running for, this is just the first draft of the list of people running on Bernie's platform to try to keep up with the number of people stepping forward. Details will be filled in and more names added. This is what Bernie is running for and why we support him.

Shocked you are not excited about all these Democrats, see eg, the SC Dems For Bernie, what a fantastic group they are, running for Public Office.

I am just thrilled.
