I'm center right, Pataki supports gay rights, is pro choice, and a moderate. I'd only consider Gilmore, Kasich, or Bush, because they have stances that are very...distasteful to me. But, if somehow Pataki won, I'd definitely support him over Sanders.

Lindsey Graham won the first round though, in my opinion.

Sanders is pretty far removed from economic centrism.

...no? He's pretty firmly economically centrist.

I'm not even joking... are you saying a man supporting what's essentially basic, capitalist, welfare-state social democracy is far left?

What is economic centrism though? How do you even begin to define what that would be? I mean, if a mixed economy is considered moderate left, then...?

* There is actually a War on Christmas. But Christmas started it, with it's unparalleled aggression against the Thanksgiving Holiday, and now Christmas has seized much Lebensraum in November, and are pushing into October. The rest of us seek to repel these invaders, and push them back to the status quo ante bellum Black Friday border. -Trotskylvania

Definitely. It's not like he had much competition, though.
