What is up with the Quinnipiac University polling firm? Fred Sanders Nov 2015 #2
I don't know that anything is up. MineralMan Nov 2015 #4
OK. Then I agree Sanders should be on the ballot, and any impediments removed. Fred Sanders Nov 2015 #7
Unless it is challenged. VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #3
Who would challenge it? MineralMan Nov 2015 #6
Not Hillary....thats for sure VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #8
And the SoS could simply dismiss any such challenge. MineralMan Nov 2015 #10
We shall see.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #11
That is a bogus argument, and an ineffective one. MineralMan Nov 2015 #13
What the hell is happening!?! Am I having a stroke? whatchamacallit Nov 2015 #16
Common sense prevails. MineralMan Nov 2015 #18
Yes but, the sad thing is whatchamacallit Nov 2015 #21
Such people are silly. Given the current polling, MineralMan Nov 2015 #40
but a Democratic Socialist is not the same as a Socialist Democrat VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #31
Too fine a distinction for me, really. MineralMan Nov 2015 #34
I am a Socialist DEMOCRAT and so are YOU VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #36
Again, the distinction is too finely drawn. MineralMan Nov 2015 #44
No it isn't really VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #53
Of course I accept Capitalism. MineralMan Nov 2015 #54
then you are a Socialist Democrat...not a Democratic Socialist VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #59
What I am is a Democrat. MineralMan Nov 2015 #62
Right and he is not...by his OWN definition.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #63
You are silly. 840high Nov 2015 #83

For The First Time Ever The Bernie Sanders Campaign Confirms That He Is A Democrat LiberalArkie Nov 2015 #73
Has he called himself a Socialist lately? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #75
Has Hillary called herself a Liberal? Last I heard it was Moderate. I could be wrong, I usually am. LiberalArkie Nov 2015 #77
She called herself Progressive VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #79
Oh, I remember that now. She did have 4 bills signed to Bernies 3 LiberalArkie Nov 2015 #81
Now....has he disavowed the Socialists yet? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #82
Anyone? really? 99th_Monkey Nov 2015 #12
Not a chance. It would take a court case to force the SoS to MineralMan Nov 2015 #14
I was disputing your claim that "anyone" could challenge Bernie's name on NH ballot 99th_Monkey Nov 2015 #23
You know, I really don't know the answer to that. MineralMan Nov 2015 #35
That's cool. 99th_Monkey Nov 2015 #41

Something like that, yes. MineralMan Nov 2015 #9
Like seeing Bernie upset Clinton in the first four states? Dr. Doolittle Nov 2015 #17
I'm afraid you're going to be very disappointed. MineralMan Nov 2015 #20
... SidDithers Nov 2015 #90
I have ZERO doubt that will happen. If they don't, that would put Hillary Clinton in a bad BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #15
Now compare Bernie's stellar record on issues vs Clinton's record on issues Dr. Doolittle Nov 2015 #19
Yup. He'll be on the ballot to win or lose. MineralMan Nov 2015 #24
Yes, win or lose but fair and square. BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #27
Exactly. MineralMan Nov 2015 #28
LOL! The state parties are giving out only Hillary buttons, etc. merrily Nov 2015 #49
Which states are doing that? Do you have links I can visit? MineralMan Nov 2015 #51
People come to the state party for materials. If the party merrily Nov 2015 #55
My question remains unanswered. Which states are doing what you claim? MineralMan Nov 2015 #60
Most state parties have the materials given to them by the candidates LiberalArkie Nov 2015 #76
Okay, I said I would not kick this thread again. But, for you--in at least one state, every other merrily Nov 2015 #78
Why wouldn't they? JaneyVee Nov 2015 #22
I can't imagine. MineralMan Nov 2015 #25
Possibly the worst thing to happen for his die-hard DU supporters. randome Nov 2015 #26
Oh, my! A shot at the age card. djean111 Nov 2015 #32
I have to agree. Aerows Nov 2015 #48
Not my point at all. My point is that he needs to be 'helped' to qualify. randome Nov 2015 #69
I doubt that occurred to any Bernie supporters. djean111 Nov 2015 #70
Then I apologize. randome Nov 2015 #72
The ballot he'll have the toughest time with is Virginia's MohRokTah Nov 2015 #37
Yes. Virginia's primary ballot access laws are MineralMan Nov 2015 #43

No legal reason exists, but the Secretary needs no legal reason to issue a press release or comment merrily Nov 2015 #45
It will all come to nothing, and Sanders will be on the ballot. MineralMan Nov 2015 #46
It's already not nothing. Read my post again. merrily Nov 2015 #47
You posted your opinion and I posted mine. MineralMan Nov 2015 #50
Calling an on topic reply to your own OP a waste of time twice is inappropriate. I stand by that. merrily Nov 2015 #52
