Sanders' speech is working. He should keep going until his body gives out.

The MSM may not be covering what he's doing, but it's clear that Americans are aware and he should continue. He's building morale against the tax cut deal, which is what movements need.

He should keep going as long as he can. If he can continue getting attention, we may have a chance to defeat this deal.

Really?

That's your opinion of the man?

What makes you think Senator Sanders would do that?

Oh your unrec's been cleared.

7. What we're seeing here is Kabuki theater

It's not worth Senator Sanders harming his health over.

4. This is when it did. He has been going since 10:25 AM EST, without a bathroom break, without leav

Two Senators gave him a brief speaking break, Landrieu and Brown.

Where is Feingold?

10. Does he have to be the one talking or can he yield the floor?

I can't remember how this works, sorry!
