    Because having lots of supporters spread thin over a wide area means absolutely nothing, and that's what internet support is.

A very good point.

But it's more than just thin money. Bernie Sanders visited the town of Kensett, Iowa, population: 240. And 300 people showed up.

In a recent Wisconsin straw poll, Bernie got 41% at 208 delegates, to Clinton's 49% and 252 delegates. Comparatively, Biden received 16 delegates, or 3%.

Does this mean he's a shoo-in? No. But he's gaining mainstream support fast.
