Evan Bayh is socially center left and economically left, so I guess him. Bedresen and Warner are C/CL and CL/CL respectfully.

Edwards definitely. Not only does his rhetoric on the issues sound quite populist, his "son of a mill worker" and his pulling himself up from the bootstraps background reaks of populism. Bayh, whom I like, may have the rhetoric, but not the background for sure. Also, Feingold, especially as one of two heores on campaign finance reform type stuff, although to some I bet he comes across as elitist. Clinton, no way. Don't know Easley well enough to say. Warner seems pretty pro-business, which is fine, but not populist. Bredesen is very business centered, and more patrician in style than populist.

Edwards.  His voting record may represent a social liberal, but he speaks in a very populist way.  Example, poverty as a moral issue.

I agree to a point, that Edwards comes across as very populist, but I think the original post was referring to their overall economic & social views being populist  (Liberal economically, moderate to conservative socially)

Sure but how a candidate sells himself, and what his background is, plays a big role in how voters see them, more than any one issue would. When talking about populism, you really cannot ignore style.

I wish his father ran in 1992.  God, what a great man.

True.  I just think the purpose of the poll was who is the most populist dem candidate, not who sells themself as the most populist dem
