A lot of people didn't as well.

The big deal is what it means given her hawkish political mindset.  You don't
accept such huge fees from corporations, etc. and not have to pay for it with
reciprocal behavior.

He hasn't yet...  He's done more in the Senate throughout his tenure there for
this country than HRC ever did even when she was Secretary of State here.  A do
nothing Secretary... she was once a Goldwater supporter.. geez.. (sorry, really
irks me as you can probably tell <bg>)

Some people maintain their wits at an old age... At 74, Bernie is such a one
IMO <g> But I understand if that's the way you feel.  We'll just have to agree
to disgree :)

Of course.. look at what the pundits were predicting in the 19 states that
Bernie has won so far (with a virtual tie in Kentucky).... No one thought that
would happen either.

Take care,
Janis
