NOw, the media will have to take him seriously and the more people hear, they more they believe.

'Nine months ago, we came to this beautiful state, we had no political organization, we had no money, we had no name recognition and we were taking on the most powerful political organization in the United States of America,' he told supporters around 11:00pm, after Clinton had spoken.

Happened before, to the Repubs:



The episode is reminiscent of the Republicans' 2012 caucus woes, when votes for eight precincts were lost on election night and never located. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum won that contest by 34 votes after three weeks of recounting, topping the eventual Republican nominee Mitt Romney.

For days and days, the GOP was the butt of jokes as it counted and recounted votes from the town of Clinton, Iowa.

It's just started pulling out of the station, and it's picking up steam - and fast.

It was a very small contribution, but I felt good about it anyway.

I am hoping that others will celebrate the same way!

It takes a special kind of strength and courage to consistently stand up for truth day after day, year after year, decade after decade. Bernie's got it.

Hillary has spent the past "year" setting up organization and spending lots of money in Iowa. This lead some pundits to declare "We're going to see (Bernie Sanders) disappear by the time we get to Iowa".

Yes, the Political Revolution is just starting.
