After his speech in nevada, it seemed senator sanders might write off this state and focus solely on super tuesday states. However, he has been campaigning here over the past few days. Hes also been making stops in some of those super tuesday states too, including virginia this morning and massachusetts yesterday. I am delighted that secretary clinton has begun adopting more and more of have advovated. That is good. And as started to use our language, our rhetoric, our positions because she sees them working. The people of the u. S need to know the difference between hastily adopted Campaign Rhetoric and the real record and the long held ideas of the candidates. Clinton, meanwhile, has had a strong grassroots ground game in South Carolina since april, so it will certainly be an uphill fight for sanders to gain candidates.
