There isn't much Difference among the Democratic Pres Candidates

i think all 3 would be about the same on most issues and in what they could do once they got into office. i would have added Lincoln Chafee to this also. Jim Webb was the only one that would have been worse.

i think all 3 have a chance of winning in the General Election against the Republican. but i think it will be difficult for all 3 also.

but i don't think any one will have it that much easier than the others. no matter who ends up the nominee the attacks will start .

The only way Bernie Sanders is going to get elected is if people reclaim their role as citizens, build a grass roots movement, drag better people into office in all states and districts, and start to build a nation that turns away from Empire and toward Earth Community.

Hillary Clinton can be elected by conventional means, and probably will be, in a narrow, ugly and expensive win over Marco Rubio. She'll steer the imperial course.

Martin O'Malley seems like a good prospect. I hope his star is on the rise.
