eta:

summary on 1. is that other candidates are trying to say why they're electable while bernie sticks to issues that matter. personally i don't know that he "won" that debate, but the difference in his sales pitch is obvious.

summary on 2. article is based on the premise that when young people think of socialism they think "denmark". and when old people think of socialism they think "soviet union." therefore the sanders candidacy hinges mathematically on getting young people out to vote in massive numbers to overcome boomer bias in turning away from democrats. author says he hasn't seen any huge under-35 mobilization so far. however, i haven't seen from previous results that bernard's candidance is supported by utes only.
