Every time he goes somewhere more people than they expected want to go listen to him speak.

What happens we he comes near me? Am I gonna have to sit there with
20 -30- 40,0000 other people screaming and cheering for Bernie?

When that happens I'll just have to shout louder to be heard.

screaming supporters and the electric energy is something I will never forget.

My ears rang for a couple of days, but they're o-kay now.

Sanders has a third of democratic support in Iowa, and Dubuque Co didn't go for Clinton in 2008 iirc

I sort of wonder how Sanders is doing out in what was Clinton country west of Ft Dodge.

Soar.

The PTB should stock up on some Tums because their indigestion is about to get worse.

The SOS Poll has him down only 5 points from Hillary. After this town hall, watch those numbers flip and he'll have an even larger gap over Hillary.
