This looks really good! One of my favorites is a ciabatta recipe I found on lifehack.org:

    4 cups all-purpose flour
    2 cups warm water
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon yeast
Combine water and yeast, then mix in salt and flour, let it rise for 8-12 hours then bake at 400F for 25 minutes. Delicious and dead simple.

It looks like yours is fluffier, though, so I'll probably try the NYT recipe you posted this weekend.

This is meaningless in terms of his chances to win. Ron Paul once raised $4 million in 24 hours, then later beat that and raised $6 million in 24 hours, and we never saw a Ron Paul inauguration. Both of those events were heavily reported in the news, but he didn't even make it out of the primaries.

Bernie Sanders seems like a consistent, principled politician, which is rare and refreshing to see, but he's not going to be our next president.
