Bernie Sanders is doing better than expected in the early primary states. I'm always disturbed when folks say, "Don't vote for that guy because he'll never win." So, if you're conceding he's the better candidate, and the only thing keeping you from voting for him is that he isn't favored to win, haven't we then abandoned all pretenses of this being a democracy? Should we just wait for the Koch Brothers' official endorsement before we go to the polls? No, only those who vote Republican need to.wait for the Koch brothers. The Democrats have to see who George Soros picks, and only then can everyone head to the polls. |

Well taking the quiz I got a 90% match with Sanders and 87% with Clinton. The highest scoring Republican candidate based on my answers was Christie at 39%. But we will see how the election process plays out and who is still in the field and who has entered the field when November 2016 rolls around. -M I had a similar score with 90% match with Sanders, 77% with Clinton and a 50% match with Rand Paul, which I assume is because I'm for much less foreign military spending and tighter regulations concerning illegal immigration. |

99% Sanders, 80% Clinton Jeb Bush is the highest Republican at 28% (he apparently is for keeping national parks and regulations to lessen global warming, against forced working to earn welfare, and is pro net neutrality and gay marriage...good for him). In terms of party I'm 98% Green, 96% Socialist, 96% Democrat, 31% Libertarian and 1% Republican |

What's Rick Santorum's platform, anyway? His campaign hasn't gotten much attention this time around. And, for the record, you just proved you're 7% socialist  |

As should come as no surprise to anyone who knows me, I side with Sanders (88%) and Clinton (73%, which surprises me considering I think she's a corporate kiss-ass). Cei-U! I summon the unrepentant leftie! |

My Internet was down. Did George Soros send an e-mail telling the Liberal Hivemind to support Sanders? |

Obama says controversial word; conservatives discover political correctness. Of course, we know that's not true. Nobody is more politically correct than a conservative when it's convenient. |

I thought the President spoke eloquently and directly. There was no dodging or parsing of language, no semantic sleight of hand. I wouldn't be at all surprised if those remarks are quoted, recited, remembered fifty, one hundred years on.

Left-Wing Centrist. That sounds about right.
Bernie Sanders - 95%
Hillary Clinton - 91%
Martin O'Malley - 73%
A bunch of fools - the rest of the %.
