Sanders Labeled "A Folk Hero"

The Rutland Herald has a big editorial today labeling Vermont's Independent Congressman Bernie Sanders a "folk hero." The article notes that Sanders, who is running for the U.S. Senate in 2006, has a "relentless in his focus on economic issues: the excesses of large corporation, the dangers of media concentration and lobbyist corruption...And those qualities have won him a following so dependable that few front-rank Republicans have stepped forward to challenge him, and the Democrats have given him a pass." It's a great piece - give it a read.
