Could you throw a vote his way too?

At an average of $30 each that $3 million represents about 100,000 donations in one day after the Iowa caucus.

Bernie Sanders's presidential campaign has reportedly raised $3 million since Monday night's Iowa caucuses.

Sanders communications director Michael Briggs told The Washington Post that "it's been our best day ever."

Sanders finished behind rival Hillary Clinton by a razor-thin margin of 0.2 points in the Iowa's Democratic caucuses Monday night. Clinton finished with 49.8 percent to Sanders's 49.6 percent.

Most of the money raised by Sanders is in the form of small online contributions, averaging about $27 each.

Sanders's campaign announced Sunday that it raised $20 million in January.

Looks like things are tightening up in NH . Bernie needs a big blowout here.

Bernie is a big underdog in New Hampshire due to the expectations game. He needs to win by 20 points just to break even.

He'll need 30 to get a decent bounce going out.

They're even on delegates coming out of Iowa. The stuff I've read says anything over 15 points gives Bernie a significant lead in delegates from NH.
Of course, the polls are reversed in SC, so Bernie is going to have to do very well in NH just to keep up. Then Nevada comes, IIRC...That may be another tough nut for Bernie.

Interesting stuff, I didn't really pay much attention to the primaries in '08 until Obama got the nomination.

I don't believe it's going to occur.

When Grandpa had the opportunity to get prickly on defining differences in tonight's debate, he went milquetoast.

Hillary scored some significant points.

Sounds like something he'd say.
