[Cali_Democrat]

PRINCETON, N.J. -- Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' favorable rating among Americans has doubled since Gallup's initial reading in March, rising to 24% from 12% as he has become better known. Hillary Clinton's rating has slipped to 43% from 48% in April. At the same time, Clinton's unfavorable rating increased to 46%, tilting her image negative and producing her worst net favorable score since December 2007.

Sanders' increased favorability reflects the broader increase in the public's familiarity with him since March. Overall, 44% of Americans are able to rate him today, up from 24% in March. Not only has the percentage viewing him favorably increased, but also the percentage viewing him unfavorably has risen, up eight percentage points to 20%.

1. It's a matter of time. And exposure.

Even Dolly's got the Bern:

2. Super. It's important to generate interest in the Democratic debates.

If voters tune out it will diminish the message of our candidates.

At what point does Joe or someone else jump in?

5. I used to run distance.

Not full Marathons, but halfs. My strong suit was 10 kilometers.
One of my favorite experiences was running steady while the "rabbits" took off.
I loved keeping my steady, disciplined pace, and catching and passing them in the last mile.
I always said something encouraging while I slowly caught them from behind and passed them,
but grinned after I passed them.

The Bernie Race with Hillary reminds me of that.
Notice to Hillary fans, don't look behind you,
but somebody is coming strong.
