http://www.cleveland.com/open/index.ssf/2015/11/nina_turner_changes_her_mind_o.htmlCLEVELAND, Ohio Nina Turner, the former state senator from Cleveland and a top Ohio Democratic Party official, is ditching Hillary Clinton in favor of Bernie Sanders.
Turner and Sanders' presidential campaign confirmed the endorsement Thursday.
"I'm very attracted by his message and his style -- and that he has held pretty much strong on his beliefs and the world is catching up with him," Turner said.
Turner added that Sanders' positions on voting rights and wage issues have stood out to her. While she is expected to be active in his campaign, a Sanders spokeswoman said whatever role Turner has will not be paid.

I can understand how she might see a soul mate in Bernie.

Nina is a great Democrat for equality and justice.
She really got the people out to vote for Obama in 2008 and again in 2012.
