"Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has more than doubled his support in Iowa, as the Democratic

Right, but this has all become stranger, now. MSNBC is showing Joe Biden, of all people, ahead of Sanders...

3 days ago - Joe Biden jumps ahead of Bernie Sanders in new poll and big crowds turn out to see Sanders. The head of a "Draft Biden" movement joins the ...
====================

An example of how American election campaigns have
degenerated into media wars fought on the basis of the
creation of positive and negative personality cults like
rock groups.

Bernie Sanders was born September 8, 1941 and will be 74
years old when he STARTS his term if elected. He may be a
fine individual, with many good ideas/intentions, but he is
too old for the 24/7 job of President of the U. S.

Where is the critical analysis of the available data and
proposed "solutions?" Why are new "cults" formed every four
or even two years, rather than continuing organizations with
relatively fixed, albeit evolving as the circumstances
change, data driven programs and goals/objectives? Where
are the equivalents of the _Federalist Papers_ and their
authors?

They are on the Constitutional Right..and are condemned strongly by
everyone to the left of Ron Paul. Those pesky old Federalist type
papers and the even more important Anti-Federalist Papers are a
serious threat to those trying to turn (and sucessfuly so) the US into
just another socialist failure.

Its hard to imagine that JFK was considered to be a Moderate
Democrat..when today he would be considered a Hard Right Winger
