Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Vt.'s Sanders poised to be 1st Senate socialist

By Raja Mishra
Boston Globe

CASTLETON, Vt. --
A new name may soon join Fidel, Vladimir, and Karl in the pantheon of famous socialists: Bernie.

That would be Vermont's US Representative Bernard Sanders, who, in this election season of tight races, appears to be cruising to victory in his campaign for the US Senate, according to recent polls.

If elected Tuesday, he would be the first self-proclaimed socialist to serve in the Senate.


I disagree with the title of this article... Sanders will be one of many current socialists in the Senate.
