he seems to be drawing more and more crowds

When it comes to filling a venue, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is not exactly 2016's underdog.

Sanders, who is running as a progressive alternative to presumed Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, spoke Wednesday at Madison's Alliant Energy Center, which seats 10,231 people. The campaign had expected a massive turnout in the left-leaning city, which has deep roots in progressive politics and activism. Their prediction was correct: Arena staff said 9,600 people were in attendance.

"Tonight, we have more people at any meeting for a candidate of president of the United States than any other candidate,"
Sanders said, according to the Associated Press, who put the turnout at 10,000.
