I certainly didn't say I didn't like him - I said he didn't represent main stream democratic thinking - that he was an extremist. Does he represent what a lot of people like - you bet! Does that mean he could get elected in most areas of the country? No.

Hardly makes him an "extremist", Steve, unless you wish to consider the bulk of the senate "extremist." Given the growing divides in the country, there are large swaths Dick Durbin could not be represent.

Sanders is definitely a leftie, had to know what "socialism" means to him. Looks to me like a very articulate form of old Ted Kennedy liberalism. Which I would hardly call "extremist."
