what where the odds then that he would get elected? (remember his acceptance speech).
If Bernie ends up winning, he'll need an ever bigger place than what Obama had - he only had
a little over 80,000 people.

1. Shouldn't this be posted in the BS Group?

[clydefrand]

3. It is also under BS

4. Then why would you cross post Bernie Sanders crap in the BOG?

2. And according to this person on Thom Hartmann's show, Obama had LESS money than Sanders has now!

Go to around 3:00 in this video and note from the comments that:

1) Jimmy Carter started at 1% year before primary.
2) Michael Dukakis started at 1% in polls before primary.
3) Obama at 22-25% versus clinton early with LESS money than Sanders then.
4) Bill Clinton started low too.

5. So are you saying Sanders will be bigger than Obama?

I don't understand the purpose of the OP in this group.

6. I've asked a couple of the hosts to take a look. Don't know if the o.p. was by mistake or an....

intentional dig, but I think the post and the poster are out of place.

7. If you're talking about the 2008 election night rally, there were 240,000 people there.

Are you certain that you intended to post this in the Barack Obama group?

8. I'm locking this thread.. there' no way you come in the Barack Obama Group and

compare him to Bernie Sanders.

I like Sen Sanders but not some of his gloating, mean spirited supporters on DU.

Use your head.
