No surprises for me though:

Points: 12,295, Level: 72 | Level up: 73%, 155 Points needed | | It's interesting to see though, that when people get passed the ridiculous penis size comparisons (the usual "who talks most like Reagan?" and "who looks the best?") among the candidates and the media surrounding them, and they actually base their decision on the issues, Mike Gravel leads the polls (one of the more liberal of the candidates).
When it comes to the Democratic Party overall, the two most abused candidates (when it comes to media coverage) and the two most liberal actually come out on top; Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich.
