California isn’t a state that Dems frequent like IA or NH, yet there’s a very high awareness of the candidates. That all came from the internet and free media. It’s usually the case that candidates need to communicate via TV, radio or direct mail to raise voters’ attention.

This, in my opinion is a function of just how aggravated Dems are with the direction of the country. They’re ready for someone new.

I can understand nationally there are people that don’t know them, but at the center of their own party?
