Politico: Democratic Party Insiders Now Think Sanders Could Win Nomination
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In U.S. election news, Politico reports that Democratic Party officials
and insiders - including Hillary Clinton allies - now say it's possible
that Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders might win the party's presidential
nomination. Party insiders had largely written off Sanders's campaign.
But in recent weeks some have reconsidered his chances, as Sanders
continues to rise in the polls while candidates like Massachusetts
Senator Elizabeth Warren have dropped in national and state surveys.
Democratic California state Senator Scott Wiener told Politico that
Sanders has been "more resilient than I anticipated. … [H]e has a very,
very loyal following, and people have really stuck with him."
