Santa Maria is in the "central Coast" of California and it's my home. Amongst other things it is a red blob flowing in a sea of blue. However, Bernie enthusiasts filled the high school football stadium (capacity 5,000). It was a great crowd. Met many interesting, and always friendly, people from teenage to my age (and I'm not telling') Enthusiasm--man, I wish I could bottle it for later use. All kinds of Bernie gear being hawked outside the stadium, just like at a football game.
