Bernie Sanders Holds Massive Rally in Raleigh, NC 1000s turned away. (voters, democrat)

I am surprised at the amount of ads on TV by Bernie. They are on during every break on the local news. He's got to be outspending Hillary 10 to 1.

He did the same thing in Michigan. Outspent her 5 to 1 and I guess it worked judging by the results.

So true, considering the Triangle is home to three major Universities (NC State, UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke) and a half a dozen or so smaller colleges/universities. It's like a Shangri-La for Bernie!

IMO, the Clintons aren't well thought of in NC.

Bill Clinton was in Charlotte on Monday. My estimate, the crowd was barely 200. This in the center of the largest city of the state.

I've seen quite a few here in Kansas City. I've yet to see a Hillary ad.

I think the huge Bernie rallies are showing to some extent frustration on the Democratic side with the "establishment" politicians as well.

Why aren't Bernie's overflow crowds showing up at the polling places? Clinton will win NC!

Thanks Bernie! You are amazing and giving us all new HOPE! This is the future I want to leave to my child. You've got my support all the way to the convention and beyond!

I expect Clinton to win the state as I mentioned earlier, though I think it will be fairly close. Raleigh, and the Research Triangle as a whole not so much.... Also I fuly expect Orange County (which is close to raleigh and in the heart of the Triangle) will probably be the most lobsided county in the state.

I think NC is pretty black so Clinton will probably win.
