HT to JekyllnHyde Link here article is from 1/7/2016

Erin Bilbray, (read the linked article, lots of VERY interesting information on why she failed and how messed up the DNC was) former runner for a congressional seat in 2014, was so committed to Hillary that she refused to even show up for Obama at the convention has switched to Bernie. A white, middle aged ,politically active, connected female, which supposedly was Hillary’s niche.

But in recent days, Sanders has won over some of Clinton’s most stalwart supporters in the state. Erin Bilbray, a member of the Democratic National Committee from Nevada who was so loyal to Clinton in 2008 that she refused to support Obama at the convention, has endorsed the Vermont senator. Bilbray said in October she was planning to support Clinton. But she changed her mind after a friend dragged her to an organizing meeting hosted by the Sanders campaign. “I started getting more and more excited as I was watching his volunteers, how organized they were, how in the trenches they were,” she said. “His supporters here are passionate. The situation with super PACs and unregulated money is the biggest concern for the future of democracy in this country and Bernie is the only candidate addressing it.” Read more: www.politico.com/...

“When I hosted Bernie at my house last week, I called friends who I was positive were Clinton supporters only to find out they liked Bernie, but just didn’t think he had a chance to win,” Bilbray said. “Here in Nevada, I think I gave people permission to support what they cared about.” The Sanders campaign is aware that while Nevada has been thought to be Clinton’s firewall, it might also serve a useful function for the insurgent’s campaign — even a tight loss would demonstrate that the Vermont senator can compete in a diverse state. “She needs a decisive win here,” said a Democratic strategist from Nevada. “It may not be the firewall people think it is.” “I think it’s the beginning of the explosion of the myth that Bernie has a limited appeal and he’s a one-state wonder,” said Sanders’ top strategist, Tad Devine, of a strong showing in Nevada. “If we do well, a lot of doors open very quickly.” Read more: www.politico.com/...

And Bernie has done the following:

Sanders is playing catchup — and fast.

He has now hired almost twice the number of staffers on the ground in Nevada — 40 to Clinton's 22, as of July. The campaign would not provide an updated number of paid staffers on the ground. And he has opened nine field offices across the state compared to Clinton’s six (the campaign said it is opening its seventh office, in Elko, on Thursday).

Sanders also has invested heavily in ad buys on English- and Spanish-language television and radio, spending $767,539 to date compared with Clinton's recent $162,490 ad buy. Read more: www.politico.com/...

So let’s see, in the space of about thirty minutes I have found articles posted on the net within the last week showing Bernie’s growing viability as a candidate, his dedication to winning this as he is investing in staff and ads and his ever increasing challenging of Hillary’s “Firewall” states.

What was that about how he “Can’t win”?

I have documented several accounts of woman, minority and white, who were Hillary supporters and are now hard working Bernie supporters. Vaginas does not equal votes folks, what does is your track record, your actions and how much people can trust you.

Many people assumed that Hillary would have the female vote sealed up, not so much. People assumed she would get the AA vote, yet my diary here, shows increasing numbers of Bernie supporters in the AA community.

How about everyone who is so sure that Hillary “will” win wait until, you know, the votes are actually counted?

Remember she was supposed to win, for the same exact reasons in 2008, AA support of her, women would love her and look how amazing of a speaker Bill is. Oh and her record, which, depending on which year you look at is either moderate, moderately progressive, or moderate. After all she’s a “Proud Moderate” who’s also a Progressive.

Nothing is decided, no one has voted and to assume people will not change their minds between now and when their primary happens, ESPECIALLY on same day registration primary states is ridiculous.
