I sent Sanders $11, and if Biden announces, will do the same for him.

I don't think that President Warren will be running this year, but if she is, will send her $11 too.

Didn't think we had a chance, but there are people who will be voting, especially in the Repubican party, who will never vote for our front runner, and lefties who won't either, and I find the 3 people above very palatable.

I even like O'Malley and Webb. and nobody's pushing any of them down my throat....

Kind of refreshing, this free will business....

especially if they believe in the candidate. Faith in a person is worth gold in these days...

Nowhere because he didn't win. You can't do anything if you can't get elected.

Its weird that people say this. Hillary has been incredibly low key since her announcement and others already started jumping into the race.

I feel like I did when my neice asked me about 50 or more years ago:

Looking at a bible coloring book, I told her that a figure was Noah, and she wanted to know, "Wots his ras name?"

The only famous of Schweitzer I know is Albert..

BUT, since you made me feel stupid, I searched and found that he was from Montana and would be challenging Unohoo in 2016.

I remember seeing him on TV now that I looked him up. I liked him. Will edit to add...

and both were making noises about running, but Schweitzer seems to be doing more to actually do it. I think either one of them could fill a hole that's going to pop up when Webb (inevitably) implodes.
