But Bernie surpasses both, well it's easy to surpass Edwards given his insane affair during the campaign.. I tossed him in the shitcan then and regret my monthly donations to his campaign. Kucinich was great and it was sad how he was treated in the media.

But no one has come close to Bernie full stop, we're not likely to see another like him..

it will be history of significance in the making if we can manage to pull off a victory as steep a hill as it is and against all odds.
