21. What a great gif.

You do find appropriate ones for any occasion.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

42. Thank you./nt

[Metric System]

5. She needs to do the right thing and withdraw so that a stronger candidate can win.

[randys1]

6. LOL - Well, Bernie is my guy, for sure. But If he doesnt make it, I like her.

When did Bernie join the D party officially?

I saw a D after his name last night on something

I thought he hadnt done that yet, officially

7. ...

8. I'm not going to be satisfied until she's +70.

Come on Hill, give us the BIG numbers.

10. KIck!

[Lil Missy]

11. On DU that means Bernie is ahead. n/t

[freshwest]

12. What *terrible* news! Although I don't know *who* she's 50 points ahead of? SMH...

I never *get* polling.

It's a sort of 'before the fact' determining an 'after the fact' sort of thing.

And I went to the twitter page and it doesn't say. Can you tell who she's ahead of by 50 points?

Sanders? All other Democrats singly or combined? All GOP singly or combined?

TIA.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. Sanders...It's a tease...

I think you're pulling my leg.

[freshwest]

15. One of this fans talked a lot about a leg on the twitter feed... Uh, so not like that...

And that's an awesome pic of Ali and Obama in your sig line, DSB!

17. Didn't Bernie just "pack the house" in VA?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. Was he In VA? Must have been a small house

20. In the absence of other evidence I will chalk it up to "preaching to the choir."

IMHO, his support is a mile deep and an inch wide.

[DCBob]

22. Good way to put it.

Much like Trump and Paul.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. I do believe Trump's is more ephemeral but only time will tell...

[DCBob]

28. Oh I agree... Trump is a flash in pan... unless..

he decides to go Third party.

[George II]

39. As I've been saying, he's a novelty for the curiosity seekers.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

26. People need to learn crowd size doesn't indicate anything

Remember, Nader packed stadiums and only got 2 percent.

Huckabee swore the size of the Chik-Fil-A crowds was going to guarantee a GOP landslide in 2012.

The vast majority of voters don't attend rallies. All the crowds indicate is how fired up a candidate's die-hard supporters are, but is not indicative of overall trends.

I keep hearing people proclaiming Bernie (who I support) filled this stadium or that. It makes a nice photo, but it won't mean anything electorally if he doesn't move up in the polls as well.

Anyone who thinks the polls are wrong due to crowd size should head over to unskewedpolls.com and see how that worked out.

[DCBob]

27. It does mean he has tapped into something significant but clearly it doesnt mean he can win.

Much like Trump on the lunatic side of politics.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

30. It reminds me of the waning days of the 84 and 88 campaigns when Mondale and the Duke ...

It reminds me of the waning days of the 84 and 88 campaigns when Mondale and the Duke were drawing large crowds and giving our folks hope the polls were wrong...O course they weren't...

[George II]

40. I went to two Dan Malloy for Governor rallies - one in 2010 and one in 2014

For the first one I stood in line for two hours to get in - the place was packed. Oh, Bill Clinton was the guest speaker!

For the second one I drove an hour to line up for three hours for a ticket - the event was four days later. It was postponed, so I went through the same thing a second time. There was an overflow crowd. The guest speaker was Barack Obama.

So much for a candidate drawing a big crowd!!!!

[lunamagica]

34. Like I said in another post, crowds don't mean much, really

Time after time I've see these huge crowds, and the candidate ends up losing.

The last time it was Romney:



And he never came even close,

[Impedimentus]

23. Was this one of those AFT polls?

Only 50 points? It means the Sander's folks will have to work harder. I doubt that the Sanders' campaign is ready give up the ghost because of this poll.

25. My money is on Kafka

'In man's struggle against the world, bet on the world.'

[Gothmog]

29. This could be a close race

[Godhumor]

31. Well if you read from right to left, she is only up by 5! N/t

[lunamagica]

32. Yet another poll showing Hillary way ahead!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

43. ...

[Thinkingabout]

33. Dammit, close race.

[sheshe2]

35. Kick & Rec!

[LordGlenconner]

36. Was EVERYONE in VA polled?!?!?!1

If not the poll is a farce!

Fight back against the authoritarian usurper to Bernie's legacy!

Repent Hillaryites!!1!11/Turd Wayers

[Bobbie Jo]

37. Quick

Start a Facebook page.*

*Virginia residency not required.

[LordGlenconner]

38. +1

Clever bern.

[morningfog]

41. That is a commanding lead.

I don't know if it is surmountable. I think the question is what states can Bernie either make it close enough to keep it interesting or actually win.

A marker would be Bernie leading in a state poll. But, I wouldn't look to VA for that.
