Stockdale was more honest and I don't think he was a wingnut.

I've seen the analysis that Clinton is seen as an insider who can Get Shit Done for her constituencies, because she has no firm principles but will do any deal; as opposed to Bernie, who will be stonewalled by Congress as well as the administration if he tries to change anything. The theory is that minorities and others up at the sharp end of capitalism vote very strongly on What's In It For My Family rather than abstract principle. This of course flies in the face of the other analysis that people want outsiders who will light a fire under the establishment's ass. So I dunno.
