Sunday, i think you will like the temperatures. Upper 20s in mason city, right around 33 degrees here in des moines. For that reason, we have some frost and freeze advisory.

Stacey but that doesnt stop them from dancing onto the ellen show. As jeanne moos shows us, democrat Bernie Sanders is just the latest candidate to burn up the dance floor. Jeanne first, he loosened up backstage. And then, 74yearold Bernie Sanders made his entrance on ellen. To the beat of disco inferno. Burn baby burn we dont know if bernie had a burning, burning desire to dance. But he did it. In what new York Magazine has called the requisite trial by dancing encouraged by ellen. Barack obama did it, back when he was first running for president. Shes done it not once, not twice, but three times. Ellen even sells a cd called im gonna make you dance jams. Shes made Cnns Wolf Blitzer dance. But occasionally, there is someone who is able to resist the siren call of ellen. John mccain opted to walk, rather than dance onstage. So did joe biden. The Vice President even whispered in ellens ear. Joe biden cant dance. Dont make me. Jeanne and though Hillary Clinton resisted any impulse to boogie down back in 2007, last month, ellen managed to lure her into learning the whip nae nae during a commercial break. Politicians are becoming more like the movie stars we expect to dance. Though ellen had to use a 20,000 check for charity to seduce matt damon into the whip nae nae. When ellen asked Bernie Sanders what song he would sing to in a karaoke bar, he chose stayin alive. Too bad we have no polling data that indicates whether public displays of dancing help a candidacy stay alive. Stayin alive, stayin alive jeanne moos, cnn, new york. Stacey it is fun when they do stuff like that. Kevin you can tell the ones that have more confidence in the way they did. The first lady knew what she was doing. Bernie sanders .
