Bernie fares well in racially

Bernie fares well in racially monolithic states like Iowa and New Hampshire. South Carolina will be the first test of his broader racial appeal. Sanders has supporters in the black community like Killer Mike, Danny Glover, Rep. Keith Ellison, Ohioan Nina Turner, and Cornel West. Killer Mike and Cornel West could make inroads with young black voters.

The downside of Sanders selecting Killer Mike and Cornel West is that Killer Mike referred to Obama as a "house slave" in one of his songs and older black voters remember West's rants against Obama.

Ta-Nehisi Coates notes that Sanders is a radical on many issues, but is not radical when it comes to directly attacking white supremacy. Sanders sees black poverty as solely an economic issue.

South Carolina will be a Sanders first true test of his appeal to black voters. Obama is very popular in the Black community. Clinton is clinging as close to Obama as is politically feasible. Sanders is running a campaign against the Presidency of Barack Obama. It will be interesting to see how black voters respond.

Hmmm... Looks like Bernie

Hmmm... Looks like Bernie wants to be "the boy who held his breath till he turned blue" - reveal the raw vote in Iowa? Didn't he get the memo - its a clusterfuck, totally messy, always has been - that's why some people like the caucus. http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/feb/02/bernie-sanders-requests-v... - Bernie's not helping himself.

Yes, but a whole year of nonsense - that should draw your respect, no? It takes a lot of staying power to keep up this amount of pretense for that long.

Iowa is a joke. Iowa represents nothing. Trying to figure out how the caucuses work is difficult.

Some delegates were awarded based on a coin-flip.

This is nonsense.

In reply to That's pretty funny coming

"Incurable romantic"? is that bothering you? Did I not defend the use of the term? Moreover, I did not point to any individual. I was referring specifically to those who claim Sanders supporters are voting with our hearts and Clinton supporters with their heads. That was not an insult at all unless you think the converse is.

I thought he was channeling the Russian Tsars and I was doing Ming the Merciless. It's a tango, a game.
