I know that Hillary doesn't think much of him, she's said (recently in a HULU special) that nobody likes him and I also recently read an article (an older one) where Barney Frank was sharing his recollections about how Bernie's "tactics" would often gum-up the works and spoil things that others had worked long hours on... negotiating and shepherding and consolidating... thus confirming that his "amendment king" moniker really wasn't something that people admired.

I'll have to see if I can find that Barney Frank story and post it. It was very interesting.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
