Bernie fires up the over flow crowd at Raleigh, NC Rally

Bernie’s motorcade headed into downtown Raleigh, NC today around noon to be greeted by a YUUGGE crowd of people!

Shoutout to the City of Raleigh Police for keeping everyone safe, especially the handsome cop who didn’t arrest me for hanging out of my car window to grab video of the motorcade! ;)

Bernie waved to the looong line of his supporters as his motorcade pulled up to the venue which was packed beyond capacity.

An overflow crowd gathered on the plaza and was amped to hear Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard as she introduced the Bern! Bernie graciously spoke to us first as we cheered him under the blazing sun and our beautiful Carolina blue skies.

Bernie headed inside to give a rousing speech for over an hour.

Everyone I spoke to was so amped about Bernie’s message. Some were long time political junkies, others are new to the process and excited to vote for the first time, and all of us in between: blacks, whites, latinos, asians, gay, straight. Together!

My dogs, Jack and Bunny Sanders, were even feelin’ the Bern and posed for several pictures with signs and supporters.

UPDATE 1:

With only 24 hours notice for the Bernie Raleigh rally, the response was incredible. The line downtown Raleigh was 7 blocks long:

UPDATE 2:

New ad just released targeting NC. With a last minute rally and increased ads, it appears that perhaps the Bernie campaign internal polling may look a bit better than the conventional polls!
