There is room for a number of other candidates, but Bernie Sanders is probably my favorite so far. I will probably be sticking with him as I have been an admirer of his for a decade or so. He speaks truth to power and is willing to stand up to corporate interests.

I have heard good things about O'Malley too and like his record as governor. Either would be a better candidate than Hillary Clinton but in terms of who would challenge Clinton more, I think that Bernie has inertia and is well positioned.

Of course I should also point out that at the end of the day I, like Bernie, will support the candidate that the party endorses.
