I was at a wake this evening for a long time DFLer [View all]
I mentioned her in a post a few weeks ago - she was really DFL establishment and she had surprised me by a) admitting she had been wrong when she thought Franken would be a mistake for the DFL and she liked him more all the time; b) Amy Klobuchar was a disappointment and I should not mention that woman's name to her and c) she really hoped we'd have someone else to support besides Clinton.
Her wake was a veritable who's who of the local DFL and everyone was buzzing about Bernie and the buzz is good (even from the hacks). Everyone was happy to feel like there's a reason to attend the caucuses next March (not that any of us would miss them, but it's more fun when you feel good about it).
Several of these people were Clinton supporters 8 years ago.
Strictly anecdotal and it is group of political junkies but I was encouraged given that I would have expected about half of them to be Clinton supporters.
