Sanders is considered the front-runner for the seat and has the Democratic Party's backing. Among those who have contributed to his Senate bid are Democrats Barbara Boxer of California and Barack Obama of Illinois and Tom Daschle, the former Democratic leader of the Senate.It's interesting to see that Boxer and Obama have contributed money to a self-decribed socialist.
Sanders, a self-described socialist, started his career as a candidate of the leftist Liberty Union Party, making runs in the 1970s for the Senate and governor and never getting more than 6 percent of the vote.
