    Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I
    guess I'll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to everything.
    Do you have any points for rookie blog writers?
    I'd certainly appreciate it.

    Republican presidential candidate Bobby Jindal on Friday sternly criticized Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, saying
    he should 'follow the example' of House Speaker John Boehner and resign his position.

    Jindal, the current governor of Louisiana and lagging near the bottom of the Republican presidential field in nearly all polls, has long waged an outsider campaign against the so-called
    'D.C. establishment,' a clear reference to leaders like McConnell and Boehner.


    But Jindal's own behavior at Friday's Values Voter Summit seemed to undercut his message.



    Just minutes after declaring his credentials as one of the
    most pro-life governors in the country, Jindal conducted three back-to-back TV interviews
    at the back of the ballroom while speakers onstage were discussing the
    recent, controversial Planned Parenthood videos. 









    Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal on Friday called on Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell
    to 'follow the example' of House Speaker John Boehner, who announced his retirement earlier
    Friday morning





    Jindal went on to slam congressional Republicans for 'refusing to fight' President Obama on a variety of issues including de-funding Planned Parenthood, ending Obama's health
    care law and immigration reform

    Jindal's TV tour offended enough press and participants in the
    ballroom that one lady yelled at the anti-Planned Parenthood speaker on stage,
    'We can't hear you!' because of Jindal's constant talking.


    Others audibly 'shushed' Jindal during his interviews.

    Still others sent Tweets during the disturbance.




    Jindal's TV interviews at the back of the ballroom at the Values Voters
    Summit Friday in Washington did not go unnoticed by the audience







    ‘Look,' Jindal told DailyMail.com in a hallway outside the ballroom, ‘we lowered our voice
    after the first interview once we realized, our voice - we didn't realize we were speaking that loud.'

    ‘So we did lower our voice after people pointed it out.'

    Others pointed it out as well. Laura Sprigs, sitting in the eighth row of the
    hall, told DailyMail.com that it was ‘unseemly' and ‘the governor embarrassed himself in front of everybody.'

    At one point while Jindal was speaking over David Daleiden,
    a member of the audience yelled aloud at the stage: ‘We can't hear you!'

    Daleiden leads the Center For Medical Progress, the group that has been releasing secretly-filmed videos of Planned Parenthood executives appearing to callously discuss the harvesting of fetal tissue. 

    Kyle Plotkin, Jindal's communications director, attributed the problem to ‘his staff,' not to the candidate. 







    McConnell, like Boehner in the House, has struggled to
    govern his half of Congress while also pacifying angry - loud right-wing conservatives
    among his members

    Jindal's call for McConnell's resignation drew one of
    the loudest applause lines in his 20-minute speech, bringing
    the audience to their feet after it had previously - and loudly - applauded the news of Boehner's resignation earlier in the day.



    'It's time to fire everyone in D.C.,' Jindal said, raising his voice.
    'One down, 434 to go,' referring to the total size of the House of Representatives.' 

    Growing sharper, Jindal said Republican leaders have
    done no less than endorse the expansion of socialism under
    President Obama, repeating a common line of his stump speech that 'I am actually angrier with
    Republicans than Democrats right now,'

    'Republicans say they're conservatives during their campaigns, but they don't govern like it
    at all,' Jindal said.

    'On issue after issue, all they know how to do is give up.

    We did our work, we got the [congressional] majority.
    But we still have Obamacare, we still have amnesty.'

    'Mitch McConnell, it is now your turn. If you're not willing to fight for conservative principles, follow Speaker Boehner's example and turn in your gavel.'

    McConnell's office did not immediately respond to an invitation to comment.

    Going further, Jindal said his party has 'become the
    party of Big Business.'

    'It's time to fire these clowns and get them out of the way.
    Mitch McConnell, before the fight even starts, says we can't
    de-fund Planned Parenthood.

    'If we can't make protecting life a winning issue nationally, what
    good is the Republican Party?' 

    McConnell has been slowly steering the Senate toward a spending bill that would allow the federal government to continue operating past the end of
    the fiscal year in September.

    Jindal also found another target with his speech -- billionaire Donald Trump,
    the Republican front-runner in the race.

    Joking that Trump 'hasn't read the Bible because he's not in it,' Jindal said Trump cannot claim to be a conservative, liberal, Democrat
    or Republican.

    'I love the idea of Trump. I do. I love the idea of an outsider.
    I love the idea that he's politically incorrect. I love the fact that he's entertaining and not a part of the DC establishment.


    'But the reality of Donald Trump is very different...
    He's a narcissist,' Jindal said to strong applause.
    'He doesn't care about policy. So conservatives have a choice to make.'


    THE 2016 FIELD: WHO'S IN, WHO'S QUIT AND WHO'S STILL THINKING IT OVER

    A whopping 20 people from America's two major political parties are candidates in the 2016 presidential
    election.

    The field includes two women, an African-American and two Latinos.

    All but one in that group - Hillary Clinton - are Republicans.


    At 15 candidates, the GOP field is without two early dropouts but still deeper
    than ever after one current and one former governor
    bowed out.

    A few Democrats are still assessing their chances at succeeding in a
    much smaller group of five that includes a former secretary of state and a current senator.




    REPUBLICANS IN THE RACE 



     










    Jeb Bush       Former Florida governor

    Age on Election Day: 63

    Religion: Catholic

    Base: Moderates                

    Résumé: Former Florida governor and secretary of state.
    Former co-chair of the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family
    Literacy.

    Education: B.A. University of Texas at Austin.

    Family: Married to Columba Bush (1974), with three adult children. Noelle Bush
    has made news with her struggle with drug addiction, and related arrests.
    George P. Bush was elected Texas land commissioner in 2014.
    Jeb's father George H.W. Bush was the 41st President of the United States, and his brother George W.
    Bush was number 43.

    Claim to fame: Jeb was an immensely popular governor with strong economic and jobs credentials.
    He is also one of just two GOP candidates who is fluent in Spanish.



    Achilles heel: Bush has angered conservatives with his permissive positions on illegal immigration (saying
    some border-crossing is 'an act of love) and common-core education standards.
    His last name could also be a liability with voters who
    fear establishing a family dynasty in the White House.













    Chris Christie        New Jersey governor

    Age on Election Day: 54

    Religion: Catholic

    Base: Establishment-minded conservatives

    Résumé: Governor of New Jersey. Former U.S. Attorney for the
    District of New Jersey. Former Morris County freeholder and lobbyist.


    Governor of New Jersey. Former U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey.
    Former Morris County freeholder. Former statehouse lobbyist.


    Education: B.A. University of Delaware, Newark, J.D. Seton Hall University.


    Family: Married to Mary Pat Foster (1986) with four children.

    Claim to fame: Pugnacious and unapologetic, Christie once told a heckler to 'sit down and shut up' and brings a
    brash style to everything he does. That includes the
    post-9/11 criminal prosecutions of terror suspects that made his reputation as a hard-charger.


    Achilles heel: Christie is often accused of embracing
    an ego-driven and needlessly abrasive style. His administration continues to operate
    under a 'Bridgegate' cloud: At least two aides have been indicted in an alleged scheme to shut down lanes leading
    to the George Washington Bridge as political retribution for a mayor
    who refused to endorse the governor's re-election.












    Carly Fiorina         Former tech CEO

    Age on Election Day: 62

    Religion:      Episcopalian 

    Base: Conservatives

    Résumé: Former CEO of Hewett-Packard. Former group president of Lucent Technologies.
    Former U.S. Senate candidate in California.

    Education: B.A. Stanford University. UCLA School of Law (did not finish).

    M.B.A. University of Maryland. M.Sci. Massachusetts
    Institute of Technology.

    Family: Married to Frank Fiorina (1985), with one adult step-daughter and
    another who is deceased. She has two step-grandchildren. Divorced from Todd Bartlem (1977-1984).



    Claim to fame: Fiorina was the first woman to lead a Fortune
    20 company, something that could provide ammunition against the
    Democratic Party's drive to make Hillary Clinton the
    first female president. She is also the only woman in the 2016 GOP field, making her the one Republican who can't be accused of sexism.


    Achilles heel: Fiorina's unceremonious firing by HP's board has led to
    questions about her management and leadership styles.
    And her only political experience has been a failed
    Senate bid in 2010 against Barbara Boxer.











    Lindsey Graham  South Carolina senator

    Age on Election Day: 61

    Religion:        Southern Baptist

    Base: Otherwise moderate war hawks 

    Résumé: U.S. senator. Retired Air Force Reserves
    colonel. Former congressman. Former South Carolina state representative.


    Education: B.A. University of South Carolina. J.D.

    University of South Carolina Law School.

    Family: Never married. Raised his sister Darline after their parents died
    while he was a college student and she was 13.

    Claim to fame: Graham is a hawk's hawk, arguing consistently for greater
    intervention in the Middle East, once arguing
    in favor of pre-emptive military strikes against Iran. His influence was credited for
    pushing President George W. Bush to institute the 2007
    military 'surge' in Iraq.

    Achilles heel: Some of his critics have taken to call him 'Grahamnesty,
    ' citing his participating in a 2013 'gang of eight' strategy to approve an Obama-favored immigration bill.
    He has also aroused the ire of conservative Republicans by supporting global warming legislation and
    voting for some of the president's judicial nominees.

























    Bobby Jindal     Louisiana governor

    Age on Election Day: 45

    Religion: Catholic

    Base: Social conservatives 

    Résumé: Governor of Louisiana. Former congressman. Former Assistant
    Secretary of Health and Human Services for Planning and Evaluation. Former Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals.


    Education: B. Sci. Brown University. M.Litt. New College at Oxford
    University

    Family: Married to Supriya Jolly (1997), with three
    children, each of whom has an Indian first name and an American middle name.
    Bobby Jindal's given name is Piyush.

    Claim to fame: Jindal's main source of national attention has been his strident
    opposition to federal-level 'Common Core'
    education standards, which included a federal lawsuit that a judge dismissed in late March.

    He is also outspoken on the religious-freedom issues involved in mainstreaming gay marriage into the
    lives of American Christians.

    Achilles heel: During his first term as governor, Jindal signed a science education law that requires schools to present alternatives to the theory of evolution, including religious creationism.
    His staunch defense of businesses that want to steer clear of providing services to same-sex
    couples at their weddings will win points among evangelicals but alienate others.


























    George Pataki      Former New York governor 

    Age on Election Day: 71 

    Religion: Catholic

    Base: Centrists

    Résumé: Former governor of New York. Former New York state senator and state assemblyman. Former mayor of Peekskill, NY.


    Education: B.A. Yale University. J.D. Columbia
    Law School.

    Family: Married to Libby Rowland (1973), with four adult children.

    Claim to fame: Pataki was just the third Republican governor in New York's history, winning an improbable victory over three-term
    incumbent Mario Cuomo in 1994. He was known for being
    a rare tax-cutter in Albany and was also the sitting governor when the 9/11 terror attacks rocked New York
    CIty in 2001.

    Achilles heel: While Pataki's liberal-leaning social agenda
    plays well in the Empire State, it won't win him any fans among the
    GOP's conservative base. He supports abortion rights and gay rights,
    and has advocated strongly in favor of government intervention to stop
    global warming, which right-wingers believe is overblown as a global threat.










    Marco Rubio         Florida senator

    Age on Election Day: 45

    Religion:          Catholic

    Base: Conservatives

    Résumé: US senator, former speaker of the Florida House of Representatives,
    former city commissioner of West Miami

    Education: B.A. University of Florida. J.D. University of Miami School
    of Law.

    Family: Married to Jeanette Dousdebes (1998), with two sons and two daughters.
    Jeanette is a former Miami Dolphins cheerleader who
    posed for the squad's first swimsuit calendar. 

    Claim to fame: Rubio's personal story as the son of Cuban emigres is a powerful narrative,
    and helped him win his Senate seat in 2010 against a
    well-funded governor whom he initially trailed by 20 points.


    Achilles heel: Rubio was part of a bipartisan 'gang of eight' senators who crafted an Obama-approved immigration reform bill in 2013
    which never became law - a move that angered conservative Republicans.
    And he was criticized in 2011 for publicly telling a version of his parents' flight from
    Cuba that turned out to appear embellished.









    Donald Trump     Real estate developer


    Age on Election Day: 70

    Religion:     Presbyterian 


    Base: Conservatives   

    Résumé: Chairman of The Trump Organization. Fixture on the Forbes 400
    list of the world's richest people. Star of 'Celebrity Apprentice.'

    Education: B.Sci. Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania

    Family: Married to Melania Trump (2005). Divorced from Ivana Zelníčková (1977-92) and Marla Maples(1993-99).

    Five grown children. Trump's father Fred Trump amassed a $400 million fortune developing real estate.


    Claim to fame: Trump's niche in the 2016 campaign stems from his celebrity as a reality-show host and his enormous
    wealth - more than $10 billion, according to Trump. Because he
    can self-fund an entire presidential campaign, he is seen as less
    beholden to donors than other candidates. He has grabbed the attention of reporters and commentators by unapologetically staking out controversial positions
    and refusing to budge in the face of criticism.

    Achilles heel: Trump is a political neophyte who has toyed with running for president and
    for governor of New York, but shied away from taking the plunge until now.

    His billions also have the potential to alienate large swaths of the electorate.

    And his Republican rivals have labeled him an ego-driven celeb and an electoral sideshow
    because of his all-over-the-map policy history - much of which
    agreed with today's today's democrats - and his past enthusiasm for anti-Obama 'birtherism.'













    Ben Carson       Retired Physician

    Age on Election Day: 65

    Religion:              Seventh-day Adventist

    Base: Evangelicals

    Résumé: Famous pediatric neurosurgeon, youngest person to head a major Johns Hopkins Hospital
    division. Founder of the Carson Scholars Fund, which awards scholarships
    to children of good character.

    Education: B.A. Yale University. M.D. University of Michigan Medical School.


    Family: Married to Candy Carson (1975), with three adult sons.

    The Carsons live in Maryland with Ben's elderly mother Sonya, who was a seminal influence on his life
    and development. 

    Claim to fame: Carson spoke at a National Prayer Breakfast in 2013,
    railing against political correctness and condemned Obamacare - with President Obama sitting just a few feet away.



    Achilles heel: Carson is inflexibly conservative, opposing gay marriage
    and once saying gay attachments formed in prison provided evidence that sexual orientation is a choice.














    Ted Cruz            Texas senator

    Age on Election Day: 45

    Religion:         Southern Baptist

    Base: Tea partiers

    Résumé:U.S. senator. Former Texas solicitor general.

    Former U.S. Supreme Court clerk. Former associate deputy attorney general under President George W.

    Bush.

    Education: B.A. Princeton University. J.D.
    Harvard Law School.

    Family: Married to Heidi Nelson Cruz (2001), with two young daughters.
    His father is a preacher and he has two half-sisters.


    Claim to fame: Cruz spoke on the Senate floor for more than 21 hours in September 2013 to protest
    the inclusion of funding for Obamacare in a federal budget bill.
    (The bill moved forward as written.) He has
    called for the complete repeal of the medical insurance overhaul
    law, and also for a dismantling of the Internal Revenue Service.
    Cruz is also outspoken about border security.


    Achilles heel: Cruz's father Rafael, a Texas preacher, is a
    tea party firebrand who has said gay marriage is a government conspiracy and called
    President Barack Obama a Marxist who should 'go back to Kenya.' Cruz himself also has
    a reputation as a take-no-prisoners Christian evangelical, which might play well in South Carolina but won't
    win him points in the other early primary states and could cost
    him momentum if he should be the GOP's presidential nominee.









    Jim Gilmore     Former Virginia governor

    Age on Election Day: 67

    Religion: United Methodist

        Base: Conservatives

    Résumé: Former governor and attorney general of Virginia.
    Former chairman of the Republican National Committee. Former U.S.

    Army intelligence agent. President and CEO of the Free Congress
    Foundation. Board member of the National Rifle Association

    Education: B.A. University of Virginia.

    Family: Married to Roxane Gatling Gilmore (1977), with two adult children. Mrs.

    GIlmore is a survivor of Hodgkin's lymphoma

    Claim to fame: Gilmore presided over Virginia when the 9/11 terrorists struck in 1991, guiding the state
    through a difficult economic downturn after one of the hijacked airliners crashed
    into the Pentagon. He is nest known in Virginia for eliminating most of a much-maligned personal property tax on automobiles, working with a Democratic-controlled state legislature to get it passed and enacted.


    Achilles heel: Gilmore is the only GOP or Democratic candidate for president who
    has been the chairman of his political party, giving
    him a rap as an 'establishment' candidate. A social-conservative crusader, he
    is loathed by the left for championing the state law that established 24-hour waiting periods for abortions.
    Gilmore also has a reputation as an indecisive campaigner, having dropped out of the 2008 presidential
    race in July 2007. 











    Mike Huckabee     Former Arkansas governor

    Age on Election Day: 61

    Religion: Southern Baptist 

    Base: Evangelicals

    Résumé: Former governor and lieutenant governor of Arkansas.
    Former Fox News Channel host. Ordained minister and author.


    Education: B.A. Ouachita Baptist University.
    Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (did not finish). 

    Family: Married to Janet Huckabee (1974), with three adult children.
    Mrs. Huckabee is a survivor of spinal cancer.


    Claim to fame: 'Huck' is a political veteran and has run for president before, winning the
    Iowa Caucuses in 2008 and finishing second for the GOP nomination behind John McCain. He's known as an affable Christian and succeeded in building a huge following on his
    weekend television program, in which he frequently sat
    in on the electric bass with country & western groups and other
    'wholesome' musical entertainers.

    Achilles heel: Huckabee may have a problem with female voters.

    He complained in 2014 about Obamacare's mandatory contraception coverage, saying Democrats want women to 'believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar.' He earned more scorn for hawking herbal supplements in early-2015 infomercials as
    a diabetes cure, something he has yet to disavow despite disagreement from medical experts.

























    John Kasich       Ohio governor 

    Age on Election Day: 64 

    Religion: Anglican

    Base: Centrists 

    Résumé: Governor of New York. Former chairman of the
    U.S. House Budget Committee. Former Ohio congressman. Former Ohio state senator.


    Education: B.A. The Ohio State University.

    Family: Married to Karen Waldbillig (1997). Divorced from Mary Lee
    Griffith (1975-1980).

    Claim to fame: Kasich was Ohio youngest-ever member of the state legislature at age 25.
    He's known for a compassionate and working-class sensibility
    that appeals to both ends of the political spectrum.
    In the 1990s when Newt Gingrich led a Republican revolution that took over Congress,
    Kasich became the chairman of the House Budget Committee - a position for a wonk's wonk who understands
    the nuanced intricacies of how government runs.

    Achilles heel: Some of Kasich's political positions rankle conservatives,
    including his choice to expand Ohio's Medicare system under the Obamacare law, and his support for the much-derided 'Common Core' education standards program. 

     













    Rand Paul      Kentucky senator

    Age on Election Day: 53

    Religion: Presbyterian 

    Base: Libertarians 

    Résumé: US senator. Board-certified ophthalmologist.
    Former congressional campaign manager for his father Ron Paul.


    Education: Baylor University (did not finish).
    M.D. Duke University School of Medicine.

    Family: Married to Kelley Ashby (1990), with three sons.
    His father is a former Texas congressman who ran for president three times but never got close
    to grabbing the brass ring.

    Claim to fame: Paul embraces positions that are at odds with most in the
    GOP, including an anti-interventionist foreign policy, reduced military spending, criminal drug sentencing
    reform for African-Americans and strict limits on government
    electronic surveillance - including a clampdown on the National Security
    Agency.

    Achilles heel: Paul's politics are aligned with those of his father, whom
    mainstream GOPers saw as kooky. Both Pauls have advocated for a brand of libertarianism that forces government
    to stop domestic surveillance programs and limits foreign military interventions.










    Rick Santorum     Former Penn. senator


    Age on Election Day: 58

    Religion: Catholic

    Base: Evangelicals 

    Résumé: Former US senator and former member of the House of Representatives from Pennsylvania.

    Former lobbyist who represented World Wrestling Entertainment.


    Education: B.A. Penn State University. M.B.A. University
    of Pittsburgh. J.D. Penn State University Dickinson School of Law.


    Family: Married to Karen Santorum (1990), with seven living children. One baby was stillborn in 1996.
    Another, named Isabella, is a special needs child with a genetic disorder.


    Claim to fame: Santorum won the 2012 Republican Iowa Caucuses by a nose.
    He won by visiting all of Iowa's 99 states in a pickup truck belonging to his state
    campaign director, a consultant who now worls for Donald
    Trump.

    Achilles heel: As a young lobbyist, Santorum persuaded the
    federal government to exempt pro wrestling from regulations governing
    the use of anabolic steroids. And the stridently conservative politician has
    attracted strong opposition from gay rights groups.
    One gay columnist held a contest to redefine his name, buying the 'santorum.com' domain to advertise the winning entry - which is too vulgar to print.

    DEMOCRATS IN THE RACE 



     












    Lincoln Chafee  Former Rhode Island governor

    Age on Election Day: 63

    Religion:  Episcopalian                                   Base: Centrists

    Résumé: Former Rhode Island governor. Former U.S.
    senator. Former city councilman and mayor of Warwick, RI.


    Education: B.A. Brown University. Graduate, Montana State University horseshoeing school.


    Family: Married to Stephanie Chafee (1990) with three children. Like him, his father John Chafee was a Rhode Island governor and US senator,
    but also served as Secretary of the Navy. Lincoln was appointed to his Senate seat when his father died in office.


    Claim to fame: While Chafee was a Republican senator during the George W.
    Bush administration, he cast his party's only vote in 2002 against a resolution that authorized military action in Iraq.

    Hillary Clinton, also a senator then, voted in favor - giving him
    a point of comparison that he hopes to ride to
    victory.

    Achilles heel: Chafee's lack of any significant party loyalty has turned
    allies into foes throughout his political career, and Democrats aren't
    sure he's entirely with them now. He was elected to
    the Senate as a Republican in 2000 but left the party and declared himself a political independent after losing a re-election bid in 2006.
    As an independent, he was elected governor in 2010. Now he's running for president as a Democrat.



     









    Martin O'Malley    Former Maryland governor

    Age on Election Day: 53

    Religion: Catholic

    Base: Centrists 

    Résumé:Former Maryland governor. Former city councilor and mayor
    of Baltimore, MD. Former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.



    Education: B.A. Catholic University of America.
    J.D. University of Maryland.

    Family: Married to Katie Curran (1990) and they have four children. Curran is a
    district court judge in Baltimore. Her father is Maryland's attorney general.
    O'Malley's mother is a receptionists in the Capitol Hill office of
    Democratic Sen. Barbara Mikulski.

    Claim to fame: O'Malley pushed for laws in Maryland legalizing same-sex marriage and giving illegal
    immigrants the right to pay reduced tuition rates at public universities.
    But he's best known for playing guitar and sung in a celtic band
    cammed 'O'Malley's March.'

    Achilles heel: O'Malley may struggle in the Democratic
    primary since he endorsed Hillary Clinton eight years ago.

    If he prevails, he will have to run far enough to
    her left to be an easy target for the GOP. He showed political weakness when his hand-picked
    successor lost the 2014 governor's race to a Republican. But most
    troubling is his link with Baltimore, whose 2016 race riots have made
    it a nuclear subject for politicians of all stripes.












    Jim Webb      Former Virginia senator

    Age on Election Day: 70

    Religion: Christian (nondenominational)                             Base: War hawks and economic centrists

    Résumé:Former U.S. senator from Virginia. Former U.S.
    Secretary of the Navy under Ronamd Reagan. Former Assistant
    Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs.

    Education: B.A. US Naval Academy (transferred from the University of
    Southern California). J.D. Georgetown University.



    Family: Married to Hong Le Webb (2005). Divorced from Jo Ann Krukar (1981-2004).
    Divorced from Barbara Samorajczyk (1968-1979). 

    Claim to fame: Webb is the rare Democrat who can bring both robust
    defense credentials and a history of genuine bipartisanship to
    the race. He served in Republican president Ronald Reagan's defense directorate as Navy secretary, and earned both the
    Navy Star and the Purple Heart in combat. Webb is
    also seen as a quiet scholar who has written more than a half-dozen historical novels and a critically acclaimed
    history of Scots-Irish U.S. immigrants.

    Achilles heel: Webb has a reputation as a bit of a
    quitter. He resigned his Navy secretary post over a budget-cut
    dispute just 10 months after taking the job, and he
    declined to run for re-election to the U.S. Senate in 2006.
    He also attracted bad press for defending the use of the
    Confederate flag as a heritage symbol for American southerners.
    Amid a nationwide clamor to remove the flag from the South Carolina statehouse grounds, he wrote that Americans should 'respect the complicated history of the Civil War.
    ... Honorable Americans fought on both sides.'















    Hillary Clinton Former sec. of state

    Age on Election Day: 69

    Religion: United Methodist 

    Base: Liberals 

    Résumé:Former secretary of state. Former U.S. senator from New York.
    Former U.S. first lady. Former Arkansas first lady.
    Former law school faculty, University of Arkansas Fayetteville.


    Education: B.A. Wellesley College. J.D. Yale Law School.

    Family: Married to Bill Clinton (1975), the 42nd President of
    the United States. Their daughter Chelsea is married to investment
    banker Marc Mezvinsky, whose mother was a 1990s one-term Pennsylvania congresswoman.

    Claim to fame: Clinton was the first US first lady with a postgraduate degree and presaged Obamacare with
    a failed attempt at health care reform in the 1990s.


    Achilles heel: A long series of financial and ethical scandals has dogged Clinton, including recent allegations that
    her husband and their family foundation benefited financially from
    decisions she made as secretary of state.
    Her performance surrounding the 2012 terror attack on a State Department
    facility in Benghazi, Libya, has been catnip for conservative
    Republicans. And her presidential campaign has been marked by an unwillingness
    to engage journalists, instead meeting with hand-picked groups of
    voters.

     









    Bernie Sanders*  Vermont senator

    Age on Election Day: 75

    Religion: Jewish

    Base: Far-left progressives

    Résumé:U.S. senator. Former U.S. congressman. Former mayor of Burlington, VT.



    Education: B.A. University of Chicago.

    Family: Married to Jane O'Meara Sanders (1988), a former president of Burlington College.
    He has one child from a previous relationship and is stepfather to three from Mrs.
    Sanders' previous marriage. His brother Larry is a Green Party politician in the UK and formerly
    served on the Oxfordshire County Council.

    Claim to fame: Sanders is an unusually blunt, and
    unapologetic pol, happily promoting progressivism without hedging.

    He is also the longest-serving 'independent' member of Congress - neither Democrat
    nor Republican.

    Achilles heel: Sanders describes himself as
    a 'democratic socialist.' At a time of huge GOP electoral
    gains, his far-left ideas don't poll well. He favors open borders, single-payer universal health insurance, and greater government control over media
    ownership.

    * Sanders is running as a Democrat but has no party affiliation in the Senate.











    DEMOCRATS IN THE HUNT 

    Joe Biden, U.S. vice president

    Biden would be a natural candidate as the White House's sitting second-banana,
    but his reputation as a one-man gaffe factory could keep
    Democrats from taking him seriously.

    Elizabeth Warren, Massachusetts senator

    Warren is a populist liberal who could give Hillary Clinton headaches by challenging her
    from the left, but she has said she has no plans to run and is happy in the U.S.
    Senate.
