Surprised pundits are marveling at his popular momentum, ground organization and fundraising prowess. There is now a credible path to the Democratic nomination and, if he runs against GOP front-runner Donald Trump, to the White House.
Center-right Hillaryworld wants to know: how did this happen? Leftists wonder: is this cause for hope?
