His pick for VA governor has a bad record on choice. ehrnst Apr 2017 #5

okay, his vote was unacceptable, his excuse for it is lame. But he has come around on this issue JCanete Apr 2017 #8

I don't recall Hillary getting that kind of understanding from Bernie ehrnst Apr 2017 #10

Will he do more than say that Perriello is "preferable to Gillespie" ehrnst Apr 2017 #81

His opponent Ralph Northam voted for George Bush not once but twice. PatsFan87 Apr 2017 #14

I guess "perfect" is all about who approves of the "imperfections" ehrnst Apr 2017 #17

So you think voting for Bush twice is pro-women, pro-gay, pro-gun safety? PatsFan87 Apr 2017 #20

Straw man. I'm talking about double standards ehrnst Apr 2017 #23

Ironic accusing others of strawmen Kentonio Apr 2017 #25

An 'outsider' like a 25+ year career politician? (nt) ehrnst Apr 2017 #55

Actually, Vermont is a rural very white, and now very lefty, and still small population. ehrnst Apr 2017 #38

Burlington wasn't 'very lefty' when it started electing him. Kentonio Apr 2017 #39

A tiny rural white population would of course be supportive of Bernie. (nt) ehrnst Apr 2017 #42

You should really read up on his early mayoral campaigns. Kentonio Apr 2017 #45
