Which makes him a FF. Democrats need to realize they can't pretend to support the Bill of Rights and just ignore one of them.

Clinton: Ew no. Iraq et al.
Biden: Ew no. Patriot Act, anybody?
Cuomo: If I wanted what Cuomo was selling I'd just vote for a Republican.
Gillibrand: PIPA support was disappointing. Unsure on her position on guns - it was promising in the House, but her Senate tenure hasn't been as great. Pro-NDAA & pro-Patriot Act and pro-FISA AMendments and pro-DP too. Pretty bad on Iraq too, and very pro-Israel. Might vote for her if the R is really bad, but certainly not a good choice.
Hickenlooper: I like his green-ness, though his gun control stuff is irritating. He also opposed the marijuana initiative, though he gets points for being willing to implement it at least.
Schweitzer: What the Dems should be. Yes.
Brown: Pro-NDAA and pro-PIPA, but pretty solid other than that.
O'Malley: Pretty FF guy. Can't really find much to criticize.



Rubio: Too rightwing. Anti-gay, anti-Roe, pro-PATRIOT Act, etc. At least he's pro-gun.
Christie: Eurgh, awful on education. Pro-medical marijuana at least, and at least supports civil unions. However - he has a brain. That's more than can be said for several other Rs. Maybe.
Paul: What the Rs should be. Yes.
Ryan: Bleh? Pretty awful on education. Anti-gay too and wants to ban flagburning. Anti-SOPA though - there's some hope there. Pretty pro-war too.
Santorum: No.
Jindal: One of my litmus tests is don't be a stupid. Jindal fails. Sorry creationists.
Walker: Bleh-ish position on education. Not my favorite option.

Of all the candidates named above, Schweitzer beats them all hands-down. But Elizabeth Warren would be better.

Only a Kentucky liberal would say that. Again, Schweitzer is not a Democrat. He is incompatible with the 21st century Democratic agenda.

What exactly is 'the 21st century Democratic agenda'? Assisting oil companies? Upholding Citizens United? Overturning Roe v. Wade? Prohibiting same-sex unions? Cutting funding for education? School vouchers? Opposing single-payer healthcare? Privatizing social security? Making the income tax flatter? Supporting war in Iraq? Cause those are all things Schweitzer opposes...
