...I don't know how you label that as an 'enthusiasm problem.' 2000's not bad turnout for a paid event; especially one where it's said (on twitter?) that she wasn't expected to appear or the original theme was changed to highlight Clinton.

I think Sanders supporters are whistling in the wind about her support nationwide, basing much of their optimism on polls in a region where Sanders is known and popular. Virginia isn't exactly a Democratic state.
