How long had you been a registered Republican before you had the right to call yourself one? True, Bernie isn't a registered Democrat but he isn't a registered anything because Vermont doesn't have party registration. In Vermont, you are what you say you are. But Bernie is philosophically better aligned with Democratic principles than are many "real" Democrats, like Blanche Lincoln, Bill Nelson or Hillary Clinton.
