So, Spin Room Dems/Liberals... It's less than a year away -- your choice in the 2016 dem primaries. Do you know who you will be voting for in your primary or caucus? Interested to see what you think.

Are the democrats going to offer up any option that doesnt include being a flaming fool old-ass cracker?

Didn't they already do that with the sitting President?

Yes, they found a flaming fool who was not an old-ass cracker. Congrats!

Joe Biden might need to be added to the list. If you get more than 10 votes total on this poll you can figure the libertarians and right wingers have skewed the results. I doubt there are 10 posters here that aren't Republicans, right wing independents or Libertarians.

Um, no. Just no on Biden.

Being a moderate and a female I cringe every time I see anything to do with Hilary and it ain't because of Benghazi. I just don't like her, never have.

Right now, most of my idealogies have me siding with Sanders but..... it's a long way until Nov 2016.

Biden should get in...sitting VP, could probably get Obama to endorse him, and he's riding a wave of sympathy from the passing of his son...if he's going to get in, he should do so soon.

Run, Joe! Run!

I don't see how Sanders would appeal to a moderate. He seems much too liberal for the mainstream.

LOL wut?

He is all about the middle class which tends to be moderate more often than not.
affordable college? Hell yes. Raising minimum to make it livable? Hell Yes. Taking it to wall street for gambling with our money and ruining the economy? Hell yes. Climate change? Hell yes. Equity for women? Hell yes. I can go on and on

Because being a moderate liberal democrat means I don't agree with everything and am not so far to the left that I can't think and decide what policies I do and don't agree with by using my brain.

I guess what I don't understand is how anyone who uses his/her brain can fail to conclude that Sanders's policies would be devastating for the economy.

I don't see how a US company can compete in global markets under the conditions that Sanders would impose.

A true democrats votes in the republican primary.

Oh, now "moderate liberal Democrat" is different from "moderate". When I think of moderate I don't think of Liberal.

Don't be too defensive. I've got nothing against Sanders, he just IMHO isn't a viable option in a general election. He has some good ideas that hopefully can be incorporated into the platform. I'm a moderate Democrat, not a moderate liberal Democrat.

You must have open primaries. We don't. You vote for the primary candidates from the party you are registered as. Unaffiliated voters can pick one or the other though.

These guys are in love with Bernie.



I'd love to hear you spell out how Bernie can actually accomplish all of his ramblings?

Sanders is an outlier.

I like Jim Webb. But he won't get it.
