Watching tv and flipping channels as I write the posts for CT Berner Blog
At this time - near 11pm cst Bernie gets the prize for highest volume of ads - at least by my count
The World Bernie HQ - Des Moines is the bigger Des Moines office of 2 in the city - it also houses the state campaign.. With 3 days to the big event the big guns were hanging out - checking in with staff - volunteers - media...and Road Berners like me... any Jeff Weaver the National Campaign Manager for Sanders 2016 was here - and heard all about the CT Team and road berners - he says Hi
As the media waves continue some folks who look like someone show up.. Couldn't remember who this guy was - but my name/face recognition program named Al clued me in fast
John Nichols from The Nation and frequent TV news commentator was visiting and making the rounds in world HQ
THE NURSES ARE HERE - I was setting up for my canvass and there were a couple of members from the Nurses Union making calls - one of them got all excited and started yelling "THE BUS IS HERE...THE BUS IS HERE" as the big red Nurses union bus rolled up and a pile of red shirted members got out to get dispatched out to the streets for some door knocking.
So - there is a "super Pac" that actually is spending money on Bernie - the nurses union has funded a program to help members get out in the field to campaign for Bernie - they have a bus ..red shirts.. and a TV crew producing videos about the exercises in democracy - and they interviewed me - I told them I used to organize nurses for AFT...they liked that I was not following my unions lead on candidates ...and asked if I wanted to join their union...cool
So - after I did the Nurses Union TV interview - the bevy of reporters taking bus pictures liked my interview so much that one by one they asked me to do an interview for them - there were 5 other crews 4 of them got me - the only one that I caught was Al Jezera international ...by the 5th interview I was really on a roll... just don't even know if my best Bernie sound bite ever got air time...hope it did...
Day 2 is done - it's 11:30pm CST - about 42 hours till we know who won IOWA!!!- posts are done - I'm tired... ready for Day 3---
We have a YOUGE Bernie rally in Des Moines tomorrow - I'll be there after some door knocking and calls and CT Berner posts... woo hoo more electricity...I'm in need of a good Bernie jolt now...
