Poll question: Bernie vs Dennis
Now here's a tough one for you guys that like a difficult choice:

If you HAD to pick one, who do you prefer? Senator Sanders or Congressman Kucinich? If you refuse to choose, skip this poll.

1. Bernie.
Dennis jumped the shark when he said he would consider Ron Paul as a running mate.

2. I'm a huge fan of Dennis but have to hand you that one.
Never understood that and still don't. I wouldn't consider Ron Paul for dog catcher.

3. Sanders is a much better communicator.
I feel like Kucinich comes across as a little petty sometimes.

4. Bernie's my Senator so he got my vote and he's so responsive to
his constituency. He has a great staff and he's accessible. He was in my town this summer for an open meeting and dinner.

5. You are a lucky individual.
Vermont is an incredibly scenic state with a great political climate, and you have Bernie.

I don't do envy much, but in this case.... <green-eyed monster>

8. Bernie, because he's 1% of the Senate
Dennis is less than .025% of the house.

But your poll may generate skewed interpretations. There is no other elected official at the Federal level that I'd put in second place over either of these two. Franken has a chance but like Grayson and Weiner, no credit for words, only actions. We've been paying action prices for merely words for too long.

10. Good point.
As we all ought to have realized, anybody can talk a good game.

A record of progressive action is what counts.

12. Bernie, I think can actually get something done.
he's also proven he can win statewide. Yeah, I know his state is Vermont.

13. Chocolate or vanilla?
I sure like ice cream. It's better than any other food, but then you ask ne to choose one flavor - chocolate or vanilla. This is a tough one. By a narrow margin I choose vanilla. Likewise I choose Bernie Sanders. But I really like both better than anyone else (well I like Barbara Lee too).

14. I don't have to pick just one.
If they were both running for president, I hope they'd be on the same ticket.

They aren't competing for my support.

I pick both, and wish we could find others as good to fill both the senate and the house.

16. Bernie is 1000 times the man Kuncinich is.
Kooch is just a lame attention-seeker.

17. Bernie's a Senator and Dennis is a Congressman
So there's no need to choose between the two great American patriots. :patriot:
