35. I can only think of 3 people in Congress that carry themselves like candidates...

...and by "carry" I mean they make populist statements:

Bernie Sanders (says "not interested" every week on Thom Hartmann)
Elizabeth Warren (apparently, she's thrown her support behind Hillary)
Alan Grayson (I could see him running)

Outside the beltway
Howard Dean
Dennis John Kucinich
