Here's my question. I have to ask, do we know what percentage of "Democrats" are that far radical left? I ask because I know a lot of Democrats and for the most part, they are pretty reasonable "centrist" type people. They do exhibit some "cognitive dissonance" like, being orthodox Christians on the one hand and supporting abortion on the other. But for the most part, they're mostly "o.k." I would add that it appears to me that most of the one's I know are less "Liberal (leftist) Democrat" than they are people who vote Democrat because their father/grandfather voted Democrat. What I mean to say is there simply isn't a lot of "thought" going on when they go to the polls.
On the other hand, I have to suspect that the most radical of the Democrats get most all of the "air time" simply because they're controversial and that's an eyeball gatherer.
