I am not betting on Mrs. Bill to be the Democrat nominee any more. I’ve got some input from Gainesville. My old bud who is a biology prof and reflects the mood among the faculty and derivatively among the SAs and the students thinks Mr. Sanders is an interesting candidate and sincere in his socialism. The socialism is really what matters at UF and probably in most of academia. I got a sense that Mrs. Bill was out of the loop around the time of Iowa in 2008 because everyone down there was dissing, gently but dissing, Mrs. Clinton. This time they do not even mention her. Sanders is their guy. That UF antenna has brought in good signals for the last several cycles as to who the Democrats are going to vote for. Even Mr. Dean was shrugged off in his time.
Yeah, but there are two big problems - the Hillary older female Democrat voter and the fact that Sanders really hasn’t done anything to win the vote by attacking Hillary. Even if Sanders wins a state or two, I don’t think he can win more than half.
I don’t have any problem with him winning the Dem nod though. Less people will vote for him in the general than they will for Hillary.
