Alaska came oh so close, but states not named Vermont continue to fail in their quest to match that state’s unanimous delegate cohort supporting Bernie Sanders. The unofficial contest among the states continues to drive participation to high levels, and deliver vote results for Sanders that once seemed unimaginable. As the next few states in the U.S. West weighed in this weekend, I could hear the voices of Bernie supporters online, a rising call for change, and echo of the voices and applause that lifted the stadium in Portland when #BirdieSanders visited with Bernie.
This man, this campaign, this movement, has heart, and is in it for the distance.
