Having notched Super Tuesday
victories in Colorado, Minnesota, Oklahoma, and Vermont, the Bernie
Sanders presidential campaign says it's "going all the way to
the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia and beyond."
The results in the 11 states that
voted March 1, seven of which went to Hillary Clinton, widened the
former secretary of state's delegate lead against Sanders and
reinforced her support among minority voters. Some even suggested
that Clinton's solid Super Tuesday performance would increase
pressure on Sanders to drop out of the race.
But at a rally Tuesday night with
more than 4,000 supporters in his home state of Vermont—where he
won resoundingly with 86 percent of the vote—and in a statement
Wednesday morning, Sanders stressed his determination to carry his
message to voters in all 50 states.
"At the end of tonight, 15
states will have voted, 35 states remain," he told the crowd
in Burlington, where he once served as mayor. "And let me
assure you, we are going to take our fight for economic justice, for
social justice, for environmental sanity, for a world of peace to
every one of those states."
"People should not
underestimate us," Sanders' campaign manager Jeff Weaver
added in an email to supporters late Tuesday night.
