Would a President Bernie Sanders have any elected friends in Mississippi?
Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada have come and gone, and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has emerged as the front-runner for the Democratic Party’s Presidential nomination.

I like wine. A lot. I’m fortunate to really enjoy it in a generally healthy way, which I don’t take for granted. But I really like wine.
