AP’s Julie Pace: ‘Clearly There Is Momentum and Enthusiasm Behind Bernie Sanders

‘The question for Sanders is going to be, could he take these young people, people who haven’t caucused previously, and have a lot of enthusiasm for his message, and turn them in caucus-goers?’

PACE: "It’s really fascinating, this Iowa poll, the latest poll out of Iowa shows that Sanders is picking up support from the people who voted for Barack Obama in 2008 when he defeated Hillary Clinton in Iowa. The question for Sanders is going to be, could he take these young people, people who haven’t caucused previously, and have a lot of enthusiasm for his message, and turn them in caucus-goers? That takes an enormous amount of organization. It takes, you know, playing within the system, which isn’t something that Sanders has done. But clearly there is momentum and enthusiasm behind him, which any presidential candidate at this stage of the game says they don’t want that would be lying to you."
