Isn't it Bernie Sanders', not *Bernie Sander's? (Edit: or Sanders's, indeed. That's what I'd usually write.)

Most manuals of style say that "Sanders's" is most correct, but will allow for "Sanders'". I strongly prefer the former. It's logical if you think of it: s' is always for plural nouns that end in S, 's is always for singular. "The cats' milk" vs "James's hand." This way also matches pronunciation. It gets tricky to keep straight when you have plural nouns that don't end in S. I know "Men's clothes" is correct. But I'…

That's not the problem. The problem is that his name is Sanders, not Sander.

I don't follow politics at all, but the more I read and hear about Bernie Sanders the more I like him. I'm sure we've got a few political experts on Hacker News so I'd love to hear if you guys think he actually has any chance of winning the presidency.

At this phase in the run, the punditariat is greatly, greatly more confident than the facts justify. I don't mean that specific to this year... I mean generically at this phase of the campaign. If the punditariat was correct at this phase, Hillary Clinton would not currently be able to run, because she'd be finishing out her second term, having defeated Rudy Guiliani in the 2008 campaign by a small but significant ma…

But Sanders is not ahead, technically, Hilary is. I think. Sanders is still a dark horse candidate. So by your logic, I think Sanders should have a great shot.

There seems to be a trend to interesting/funny 404s for presidential campaigns. https://www.barackobama.com/45325r/ has a "thanks, Obama" GIF meme. https://www.bobbyjindal.com/dfka blames the 404 on Obama with #ThanksObama" too.

For the barackobama.com 404 page I got a message that said "Sorry, we couldn't fetch that page for you." and a gif of some dogs chasing after a ball.

There's a "Thanks, Obama" gif towards the bottom. I missed it at first too.

He doesn't. Not even most of the Democratic base will vote for a white male socialist in his 70's over Hillary, and he has no chance of winning the general election even if he were nominated. Even he probably knows this and is only running to make a statement.

> Not even most of the Democratic base will vote for a white male socialist in his 70's over Hillary

Why do you say that? I could perhaps be convinced, but at this point I don't see any reason to think that.

Yes, I know. That's my point. I don't accept that Clinton has it sewn up, and right now he appears to be the second in line, which isn't a bad place to be at this point in the race.

Most 404 accesses are from people probing a server for common URL's belonging to vulnerable web applications.

Thus my 404 page is a honeypot, and too many 404 accesses in a short period results in an automatic IP ban.

I wonder if the Jindal supporters realize that joke's on them?

Man, it's no wonder that people like me two aren't speaking English natively get confused about that whole *'s thing.
