My bad, I wasn't looking at the national polls. I was referring to the
polls in New Hampshire and Iowa where he went from pretty much 0% to
leading Hilary in the double digits. These are key states that heavily
influence the DNC nominee. A similar phenomena occurred in 2008 with Obama
when everyone assumed Hilary to win until she lost I think its naive to
discount sanders because he doesn't have the name recognition of Hilary. I
doubt Hilary will be able to hold any lead whatsoever after the first
debates. Not to mention she isn't going to win with the 'FBI as her running
mate'.

As for Bernie's positions, I hardly think dismantling the top 6 financial
institutions that are 'too big to fail' to be inline with the DNC. His
other positions such as overturning Citizens United and cutting defense
spending are equally useful. I'll take the socialization of healthcare and
education as well. I am really interested in Bernie's authenticity and
integrity foremost. He isn't taking donations from billionaires, so he
doesn't owe anyone any political favors. He is an advocate for the people
with a rational mind. He certainly isn't politics as usual.
