Take this as yet another sign that Hillary Clinton's campaign is in deeper trouble than anyone thought possible:
MoveOn is endorsing Bernie Sanders for president after the liberal challenger to Hillary Clinton won 78 percent of votes cast by its membership.
Ilya Sheyman, MoveOn's executive director, lauded Sanders for his run-away win and promised to help turn out voters in the early states of Iowa and New Hampshire, where the group has 43,000 members and 30,000 members respectively.
Sheyman explained:
"This is a massive vote in favor of Bernie Sanders, showing that grassroots progressives across the country are excited and inspired by his message and track record of standing up to big money and corporate interests to reclaim our democracy for the American people."
That's bad news for Hillary Clinton, but what makes this even worse is that MoveOn will actively and energetically campaign for Sanders. Sheyman:
"We will mobilize aggressively to add our collective people power to the growing movement behind the Sanders campaign, starting with a focus on voter turnout in Iowa and New Hampshire."
A few months ago, everybody assumed the nomination was Hillary's for the taking, but her lead over Sanders has shrunk significantly in the early primary states. She's only up 5.8% in Iowa (47.8% for her versus 42% for Sanders) and she's actually trailing Sanders by 4.3% in New Hampshire (43.5% versus 47.8%). If that doesn't change fast, she could very well lose both states to the socialist senator from Vermont.
And what happens then? Theoretically, Hillary can still be the nominee if she loses both Iowa and New Hampshire. Since neither early state is winner-take-all, a close finish would enable her to stay in the race for a long time coming.
However, taken together, these early states have a tremendous joint impact.

I wonder if this will leave a mark?
Biden and Warren are waiting in the wings...
At this point, Hillary is so unlikeable, you couldn’t get a puppy to play with her even if you tied a piece of meat around her neck.
And MoveOn was founded to defend the Klintoons!
There is nothing “grassroots” about Moveon
Good point. I love irony, especially when applied to people I don’t like.
“Grassroots”???
Don’t think so..
I thought HilLiaRY helped in founding MO?
No surprise. MoveOn knows a real Communist when they see one.
Wasn’t ‘Move On’ birthed in the Clinton rape and sexual harassment days?

Very interesting.
Looks scrubbed... but yeah - defending Bill Clinton’s attacks on powerless women WAS where “move on” started...
So it should be called putsomeiceonthat.org or atleastitwasn't1000muslims.org.
Yes - good one Dungeon... or 'SexistbulliesRUs'.org The founders felt that no one cared about abused women... so they wanted to 'move on' and talk about something else. Horrible people.
