Some voters in the early voting states seem to be “feeling the Bern,” an enthusiastic reference to the candidacy of 73-year-old Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. Sanders appeared before a standing-room only crowd of more than 700 supporters at a Friday night rally in Iowa, which the Wall Street Journal notes is “the same number who went to a Hillary Clinton event on Sunday that featured a buffet table and a live band.” In Wisconsin, Sanders took a surprising 41 percent in the Democratic Party straw poll at the state convention, losing to Clinton by just eight points.

Once written off as a fringe candidate, the Vermont senator’s performance is taking many pundits by surprise
