Who is **the** most leftward nationally known Dem you can think of

[Stinky The Clown]

If you can, please limit your picks to either incumbent elected Governors, Senators or Representatives ...... or challengers for these same offices.

1. Dennis Kucinich

"God" Bless him!

3. gotta say Feingold.

on edit - with a nod to Dennis, but I think Russ is more well known. Same with Bernie Sanders.

8. Dennis got around during the primaries

He was even on the Tonight Show. I would bet more average 'muricans know him over Russ for that alone. And he is to the left of Russ, anyway. I would give you Sanders, but who knows him outside of his own state and political junkies?

10. that was then.

Given that our national brethren have the attention span of a gnat, I suspect you'd get a lot of "Dennis who?" were you to ask the Man On The Street now.

Not that it matters to me, really. I like all three a great deal. I erred in mentioning Sanders anyway since he's not a Dem (nod to Mr. Benchley). :)

11. They don't really know Russ either

Not yet. I'm giving it to Dennis because of his time on the national stage.

They are all good progressives, as you say, it doesn't matter. :)
