contemplating 2 new entrants in the presidential derby

Over under for Bernie Sanders.  Examining his “Liberty Union” party era voting totals.

United States Senate special election in Vermont, 1972
Bernie Sanders (Liberty Union) – 1,571 (2.2%)

Vermont gubernatorial election, 1972
Bernie Sanders (LU) – 2,175 (1.1%)

United States Senate election in Vermont, 1974
Bernie Sanders (LU) – 5,901 (4.13%)

Vermont gubernatorial election, 1976
Bernie Sanders (LU) – 11,317 (6.1%)

What states will he beat out the 6.1 percent thresh-hold?

I also note Carly Fiorina has thrown her hat in the ring.  In 2004, the Democrats — wanting to blunt the impact of Al Sharpton being in the race — brought in Carol Mosley Braun.  I wonder if the Republicans urged Carly Fiorina in for some gender political purposes in getting some attacks against Hillary Clinton out that would no suffice from a man.

Also, should be “in it to win it” — so to speak — can we please get a reprise of the “Demon Sheep” ad she ran to win the Republican nomination for California governor — maybe have a whole zoo full of demon animals for each of her opponents?
