What scares them is not the word. It's that if he won, that would mean that he
really would facilitate organizing the people to remove the advantages that the
corporations and the billionaire have. And once people began to organize and
realized that they had power and could change things, they might truly change
the system.

I'm reminded of the old radio/TV sitcom, The Life of Riley. Chester A. Riley
was fond of saying, "Don't confuse me with facts. My head is made up".
And so it is with the Democratic Establishment. Bernie is not acceptable.
It's that pesky word, "socialist" that scares them.
Socialism is okay when practiced by the Establishment, rewarding one another
with posh military contracts. But let's not get crazy and pass the goodies
around among the Working Class.
If being a Democrat or Republican means that you take the Party line and follow
your Party's orders, then I'm a Socialist. If being a Socialist means that I
must stand alongside my fellow Workers, and fight together to improve our share
of our nation's wealth, a wealth we helped to create, then I truly am a
Socialist.
Your Socialist friend, Carl Jarvis, still trying to get through to the
Democratic Party that I quit! You don't want my vote, because I vote like a
Socialist! If you don't want Bernie Sanders, then you sure don't want me!

Sanders Pulls Further Ahead of Buttigieg in New Hampshire Poll By Jon
Keller, CBS Boston
10 February 20
his New Hampshire primary has been a rollercoaster ride, with one last
hairpin turn in the final night of the exclusive WBZ/Boston
Globe/Suffolk University tracking poll.
Bernie Sanders appears to be cementing his hold on first place with 27
percent, while Pete Buttigieg, who had surged into a virtual tie with
Sanders as the week ended, in second with 19 percent.
And Amy Klobuchar continues her momentum from last night with a 14
percent showing, good for third place. However, she is still within
the poll's 4.4 percent margin of error of Joe Biden and Elizabeth
Warren, who placed within a fraction of each other in fourth and fifth
place.
In addition to these statewide numbers, Suffolk has also been polling
the city of Dover, a so-called bellwether community that has
foreshadowed the statewide order of finish in the last three contested
Democratic primaries.
And their response to our poll seems to confirm the statewide trend.
The Dover polling has Sanders and Buttigieg closer together, finishing
first and second within the 5.6 percent margin of error of each other.
But running solidly in third is Klobuchar, an also-ran in our poll all
week who has seemingly picked up steam off a widely-acclaimed debate
performance Friday night.
Joe Biden came in fourth, just barely ahead of Elizabeth Warren, both
within reach of Klobuchar but with a showing that has to be a
disappointment for both of them.
"This is the first time all of the survey is post-debate," notes David
Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center.
"Whether Klobuchar's spike is temporary remains to be seen. Sanders'
improvement comes in two areas: the West/North region - the four
counties that know him best - and people torn between him and Warren.
If Klobuchar were to finish third or fourth, she's going to knock
someone into that fifth spot, a real dire place to be for Biden or
Warren."
Of course, the only poll that really matters is the one in the voting
booth on Tuesday, so get out and vote and then watch your vote count
with our special primary night coverage starting at 8 p.m. on TV38
with a full wrapup on WBZ News at 11.
The exclusive WBZ-TV/Boston Globe/Suffolk University tracking poll is
a two-day rolling sample of 500 likely New Hampshire Democratic
primary voters.
