Five more days until Super Tuesday

It comes in waves. A lull and then a flurry.
.
Today is a flurry. We have the pedicab with bubbles and music.

We will have one of our candidates, a hawker and a troupe of Berners to pass out fliers and talk to people.

We start early voting on Saturday and it will continue through Super Tuesday. Our county is very organized and will have two tables with canopies out in front of the campus Vote Center to check people in so that they have all they need when they go to vote. Here we can register to vote until the end of the day on Tuesday. There will be some provisional ballots but not too many because of the changes that have been made to the process.

Also, today the cola4all strike is having a Radical History March and Teach-in

On Monday the Slugs for Bernie are hosting a march to the voting center from all the colleges for GOTV.

And so it goes on and on and on. Onward...

@Wally
Great news indeed. I shows that we have some clout now. Saw an article in the NYT this morning about ~75 super delegates that they interviewed and all but ~6 said that they would not bend on the number of delegates needed to confirm Bernie. Will post the link later when I have time. Boy howdy, we could be in for a ride. Thanks for all your posts. Have a good one...

@magiamma

how many SDs Bernie has? I mean some of them are ex officio like AOC and Ro Khanna.

Bernie needs to win big in delegate rich CA. I sure hope he does better than expected in SC on Sat. The talking heads all say if he wins there the nom is his. We can hope!

Thanks for all your work!

Politico is all breathless over a poll that shows Biden has a double digit lead over Steyr and Bernie in SC?

Monmouth say Biden has a 20 point lead.

@boriscleto

Will he get 15% of the vote and be awarded any delegates?

We heard his mantra before in The Big Lebowski:

@boriscleto

or even if they win big there, they have all of 3 days to turn things around before Super Tuesday or else they have bigger problems than they every dreamed. The stuff of which nightmares are made.

And my guess is that Bernie and Biden won't be that far off in terms of number of delegates awarded no matter what: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-primary-forecast/south-carolina/

Just a matter of days now. Holy cheese and crackers, it's hard to believe such a pivotal point in history is already right upon us.

‘He Hasn’t Been Here’: Why Joe Biden Lags in Super Tuesday States:

On the day before in-person early voting was to begin across California’s most populous county, there was no sign of life at Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s campaign office in East Los Angeles last Friday. A metal gate out front was padlocked shut, with a missed-delivery notice from the Postal Service wedged into it.

In a strip mall a mile away, a campaign office for Senator Bernie Sanders was humming with activity. Field organizers were busy calling supporters, and every so often the ding of a bell signaled that another volunteer was on board.
