7. Sanders is not a Dem though - would he be allowed?
I would like those 6 too but I think it would be a "fat chance".

15. I don't think members of leadership are going to want this headache
So no Boehner, McConnell, Pelosi or Reid. No Durbin or Cantor either. I don't think you'll see presidential candidates either (picking someone like Bachmann would basically be an endorsement)

The Thugs will choose people like Paul Ryan and Orrin Hatch. The Dems will choose members like Louise Slaughter and Kent Conrad.
