"Comparing Clinton Primary Popularity vs Challengers" graphic - Also shows Obama's 2008 trendlines
Best graphic I've seen comparing Bernie and Obama's trendlines along with Clinton's trendlines I've ever seen. Hat tip goes to Erich Bloodaxe, BSN for finding this in D-Kos.

Bernie has sponsored 5 bills became which became law, but he also co-sponsored over 5,000 pieces of bills and 203 became law.

Clinton... *ahem* sponsored 3 bills which became law...and co-sponsored only 74 pieces of legislation, and all became law.

I think Bernie's got this one, and that should end any idiotic memes about Bernie's legislative history about him doing 'nothing'.
