Flex 4: Changing the “displayAsPassword” default character
Today I ran into a situation where I wanted to display my password characters as a bullet versus the default asterisk (“*”).
I thought this would be pretty simple to do but realized after digging through the Flex 4 SDK that there was no public property I could set to change this. I tried hacking commitProperties and a couple of other methods but came up short in those areas as well until I found the exact spot in the Flex libraries where this character was defined:
RichEditableText.as (line 679)
1 2 3 4 | /** * @private */ mx_internal var passwordChar:String = "*"; |
A-ha! I see here that it’s prefixed with the “mx_internal” namespace and I remembered from other examples around the web that you can easily tap into that namespace and modify properties not normally meant to be modified.
Luckily, I had already extended the TextInput class for various other reasons and decided to add an event listener for the CREATION_COMPLETE lifecycle event of the component. This was added in the constructor:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 | import mx.core.mx_internal; /** * Constructor */ public function myTextInput() { super(); this.addEventListener( FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, onCreationComplete ); } private function onCreationComplete( event : FlexEvent ) : void { //change internal passwordChar to a bullet versus an asterisk this.textDisplay.mx_internal::passwordChar = "●"; } |
…and voila! By tapping into the mx_internal namespace, I found I could modify the normally private variable “passwordChar” and set it to something I preferred better (in this case, the bullet point used in some sites like Twitter).
Hope this helps someone!

It’s actually a cool and useful piece of info. I’m glad that you just shared this useful information with us.
Please keep us informed like this. Thank
you for sharing.
Republican presidential candidate Bobby Jindal on Friday sternly criticized Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell,
saying he should ‘follow the example’ of House Speaker John Boehner and resign his position.
Jindal, the current governor of Louisiana and lagging near the
bottom of the Republican presidential field in nearly all polls,
has long waged an outsider campaign against the
so-called ‘D.C. establishment,’ a clear reference to
leaders like McConnell and Boehner.
But Jindal’s own behavior at Friday’s Values Voter Summit seemed to undercut his message.
Just minutes after declaring his credentials as one of the most pro-life governors in the country, Jindal
conducted three back-to-back TV interviews at the back of the ballroom while speakers onstage were discussing the recent, controversial Planned Parenthood videos.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal on Friday called on Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell to ‘follow the example’ of House Speaker John Boehner, who announced his retirement earlier Friday morning
Jindal went on to slam congressional Republicans for ‘refusing to fight’
President Obama on a variety of issues including de-funding Planned Parenthood,
ending Obama’s health care law and immigration reform
Jindal’s TV tour offended enough press and participants in the ballroom that one lady yelled at the anti-Planned Parenthood speaker on stage, ‘We can’t hear you!’ because of Jindal’s constant talking.
Others audibly ‘shushed’ Jindal during his interviews.
Still others sent Tweets during the disturbance.
Jindal’s TV interviews at the back of the ballroom at the Values Voters Summit Friday in Washington did
not go unnoticed by the audience
‘Look,’ Jindal told DailyMail.com in a hallway
outside the ballroom, ‘we lowered our voice after
the first interview once we realized, our voice –
we didn’t realize we were speaking that loud.’
‘So we did lower our voice after people pointed it out.’
Others pointed it out as well. Laura Sprigs, sitting in the eighth row of the hall, told DailyMail.com
that it was ‘unseemly’ and ‘the governor embarrassed himself in front of everybody.’
At one point while Jindal was speaking over David Daleiden, a member of the audience yelled aloud at the stage: ‘We can’t hear you!’
Daleiden leads the Center For Medical Progress, the group that
has been releasing secretly-filmed videos of Planned
Parenthood executives appearing to callously discuss the harvesting of fetal
tissue.
Kyle Plotkin, Jindal’s communications director, attributed the problem to
‘his staff,’ not to the candidate.
McConnell, like Boehner in the House, has struggled
to govern his half of Congress while also pacifying angry – loud right-wing conservatives among his members
Jindal’s call for McConnell’s resignation drew one of the loudest
applause lines in his 20-minute speech, bringing
the audience to their feet after it had previously – and
loudly – applauded the news of Boehner’s resignation earlier in the day.
‘It’s time to fire everyone in D.C.,’ Jindal said, raising his voice.
‘One down, 434 to go,’ referring to the total size of the House of Representatives.’
Growing sharper, Jindal said Republican leaders have done no less than endorse the expansion of socialism
under President Obama, repeating a common line of his stump speech
that ‘I am actually angrier with Republicans
than Democrats right now,’
‘Republicans say they’re conservatives during their campaigns, but they don’t govern like it
at all,’ Jindal said.
‘On issue after issue, all they know how to do is give up.
We did our work, we got the [congressional] majority.
But we still have Obamacare, we still have amnesty.’
‘Mitch McConnell, it is now your turn. If you’re not willing to fight for conservative principles, follow Speaker Boehner’s
example and turn in your gavel.’
McConnell’s office did not immediately respond to an invitation to comment.

Going further, Jindal said his party has ‘become the party of Big Business.’
‘It’s time to fire these clowns and get them out of the way.
Mitch McConnell, before the fight even starts, says we
can’t de-fund Planned Parenthood.
‘If we can’t make protecting life a winning issue nationally, what good is the Republican Party?’
McConnell has been slowly steering the Senate toward a spending bill that would allow the federal government to
continue operating past the end of the fiscal year in September.
Jindal also found another target with his speech — billionaire Donald Trump,
the Republican front-runner in the race.
Joking that Trump ‘hasn’t read the Bible because he’s
not in it,’ Jindal said Trump cannot claim to be a conservative, liberal,
Democrat or Republican.
‘I love the idea of Trump. I do. I love the idea of an outsider.
I love the idea that he’s politically incorrect. I love the fact that he’s
entertaining and not a part of the DC establishment.
‘But the reality of Donald Trump is very different… He’s a narcissist,’ Jindal said to strong
applause. ‘He doesn’t care about policy. So conservatives have a choice to make.’
THE 2016 FIELD: WHO’S IN, WHO’S QUIT AND WHO’S STILL THINKING IT OVER
A whopping 20 people from America’s two major political
parties are candidates in the 2016 presidential election.
The field includes two women, an African-American and two Latinos.
All but one in that group – Hillary Clinton – are Republicans.
At 15 candidates, the GOP field is without two early dropouts but still
deeper than ever after one current and one former governor bowed
out.
A few Democrats are still assessing their chances at succeeding in a much smaller group of five that includes a former
secretary of state and a current senator.
REPUBLICANS IN THE RACE
Jeb Bush Former Florida governor
Age on Election Day: 63
Religion: Catholic
Base: Moderates
Résumé: Former Florida governor and secretary of state.
Former co-chair of the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy.
Education: B.A. University of Texas at Austin.
Family: Married to Columba Bush (1974), with three adult children. Noelle
Bush has made news with her struggle with drug addiction, and related arrests.
George P. Bush was elected Texas land commissioner in 2014.
Jeb’s father George H.W. Bush was the 41st President of the United States, and his brother George W.
Bush was number 43.
Claim to fame: Jeb was an immensely popular governor
with strong economic and jobs credentials. He is also one of just two GOP candidates
who is fluent in Spanish.
Achilles heel: Bush has angered conservatives with his permissive positions on illegal immigration (saying some border-crossing is ‘an act of love)
and common-core education standards. His last name could also be a liability with voters who
fear establishing a family dynasty in the White
House.
Chris Christie New Jersey governor
Age on Election Day: 54
Religion: Catholic
Base: Establishment-minded conservatives
Résumé: Governor of New Jersey. Former U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey.
Former Morris County freeholder and lobbyist.
Governor of New Jersey. Former U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey.
Former Morris County freeholder. Former statehouse lobbyist.
Education: B.A. University of Delaware, Newark, J.D. Seton Hall
University.
Family: Married to Mary Pat Foster (1986) with four children.
Claim to fame: Pugnacious and unapologetic, Christie once told a heckler
to ‘sit down and shut up’ and brings a brash style to everything he does.
That includes the post-9/11 criminal prosecutions of terror
suspects that made his reputation as a hard-charger.
Achilles heel: Christie is often accused of embracing an ego-driven and needlessly abrasive style.
His administration continues to operate under a ‘Bridgegate’ cloud:
At least two aides have been indicted in an alleged scheme to shut down lanes leading to the George Washington Bridge as political retribution for a mayor who
refused to endorse the governor’s re-election.
Carly Fiorina Former tech CEO
Age on Election Day: 62
Religion: Episcopalian
Base: Conservatives
Résumé: Former CEO of Hewett-Packard. Former group president of Lucent Technologies.
Former U.S. Senate candidate in California.
Education: B.A. Stanford University. UCLA School of Law (did not finish).
M.B.A. University of Maryland. M.Sci. Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Family: Married to Frank Fiorina (1985), with one adult step-daughter and another who is
deceased. She has two step-grandchildren. Divorced from Todd Bartlem (1977-1984).
Claim to fame: Fiorina was the first woman to lead
a Fortune 20 company, something that could provide ammunition against the Democratic Party’s drive to make Hillary
Clinton the first female president. She is also
the only woman in the 2016 GOP field, making her the one Republican who can’t be accused of sexism.
Achilles heel: Fiorina’s unceremonious firing by HP’s board has led to questions about
her management and leadership styles. And her only political experience has been a failed Senate bid in 2010 against Barbara Boxer.
Lindsey Graham South Carolina senator
Age on Election Day: 61
Religion: Southern Baptist
Base: Otherwise moderate war hawks
Résumé: U.S. senator. Retired Air Force Reserves colonel.
Former congressman. Former South Carolina state representative.
Education: B.A. University of South Carolina. J.D. University of South
Carolina Law School.
Family: Never married. Raised his sister Darline after their parents died while he was a
college student and she was 13.
Claim to fame: Graham is a hawk’s hawk, arguing consistently for
greater intervention in the Middle East, once arguing in favor of pre-emptive military strikes against
Iran. His influence was credited for pushing President George W.
Bush to institute the 2007 military ‘surge’ in Iraq.
Achilles heel: Some of his critics have taken to call him ‘Grahamnesty,’ citing his participating in a 2013
‘gang of eight’ strategy to approve an Obama-favored immigration bill.
He has also aroused the ire of conservative Republicans by supporting global warming legislation and voting for some of
the president’s judicial nominees.
Bobby Jindal Louisiana governor
Age on Election Day: 45
Religion: Catholic
Base: Social conservatives
Résumé: Governor of Louisiana. Former congressman. Former Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services for Planning and Evaluation. Former Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals.
Education: B. Sci. Brown University. M.Litt. New College at Oxford University
Family: Married to Supriya Jolly (1997), with three children, each of whom has an Indian first name and an American middle name.
Bobby Jindal’s given name is Piyush.
Claim to fame: Jindal’s main source of national attention has been his strident opposition to federal-level ‘Common Core’ education standards,
which included a federal lawsuit that a judge dismissed in late March.
He is also outspoken on the religious-freedom issues involved
in mainstreaming gay marriage into the lives of American Christians.
Achilles heel: During his first term as governor, Jindal signed a
science education law that requires schools to present alternatives to the theory of
evolution, including religious creationism. His staunch defense of businesses
that want to steer clear of providing services to same-sex
couples at their weddings will win points among evangelicals but alienate others.
George Pataki Former New York governor
Age on Election Day: 71
Religion: Catholic
Base: Centrists
Résumé: Former governor of New York. Former New York state senator and state assemblyman.
Former mayor of Peekskill, NY.
Education: B.A. Yale University. J.D. Columbia Law School.
Family: Married to Libby Rowland (1973), with four adult children.
Claim to fame: Pataki was just the third Republican governor in New York’s history,
winning an improbable victory over three-term incumbent Mario Cuomo in 1994.
He was known for being a rare tax-cutter in Albany and was also
the sitting governor when the 9/11 terror attacks rocked New York CIty in 2001.
Achilles heel: While Pataki’s liberal-leaning social agenda plays well in the Empire State, it won’t
win him any fans among the GOP’s conservative base. He supports abortion rights
and gay rights, and has advocated strongly in favor of government intervention to stop global
warming, which right-wingers believe is overblown as a global threat.
Marco Rubio Florida senator
Age on Election Day: 45
Religion: Catholic
Base: Conservatives
Résumé: US senator, former speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, former
city commissioner of West Miami
Education: B.A. University of Florida. J.D. University of Miami School of
Law.
Family: Married to Jeanette Dousdebes (1998), with two sons and
two daughters. Jeanette is a former Miami Dolphins cheerleader who posed for the squad’s first swimsuit calendar.
Claim to fame: Rubio’s personal story as the son of Cuban emigres is a powerful
narrative, and helped him win his Senate seat in 2010
against a well-funded governor whom he initially trailed by
20 points.
Achilles heel: Rubio was part of a bipartisan ‘gang of
eight’ senators who crafted an Obama-approved immigration reform bill in 2013 which never
became law – a move that angered conservative Republicans.
And he was criticized in 2011 for publicly telling a version of his parents’ flight from Cuba that turned out to appear embellished.
Donald Trump Real estate developer
Age on Election Day: 70
Religion: Presbyterian
Base: Conservatives
Résumé: Chairman of The Trump Organization. Fixture on the
Forbes 400 list of the world’s richest people. Star of ‘Celebrity Apprentice.’
Education: B.Sci. Wharton School of the University
of Pennsylvania
Family: Married to Melania Trump (2005). Divorced from Ivana Zelníčková (1977-92) and Marla Maples(1993-99).
Five grown children. Trump’s father Fred Trump amassed a $400 million fortune developing real estate.
Claim to fame: Trump’s niche in the 2016 campaign stems from his celebrity as a reality-show host
and his enormous wealth – more than $10 billion, according
to Trump. Because he can self-fund an entire presidential campaign, he
is seen as less beholden to donors than other candidates.
He has grabbed the attention of reporters and commentators by unapologetically staking out controversial positions and refusing to budge in the face of criticism.
Achilles heel: Trump is a political neophyte who has toyed with running for president
and for governor of New York, but shied away from taking the plunge until now.
His billions also have the potential to alienate large swaths of the electorate.
And his Republican rivals have labeled him an ego-driven celeb and an electoral sideshow because of his
all-over-the-map policy history – much of which agreed with today’s today’s democrats
- and his past enthusiasm for anti-Obama ‘birtherism.’
Ben Carson Retired Physician
Age on Election Day: 65
Religion: Seventh-day Adventist
Base: Evangelicals
Résumé: Famous pediatric neurosurgeon, youngest person to head a major Johns
Hopkins Hospital division. Founder of the Carson Scholars Fund, which awards scholarships to children of good character.
Education: B.A. Yale University. M.D. University of Michigan Medical School.
Family: Married to Candy Carson (1975), with three adult sons.
The Carsons live in Maryland with Ben’s elderly mother Sonya, who was
a seminal influence on his life and development.
Claim to fame: Carson spoke at a National Prayer Breakfast in 2013,
railing against political correctness and condemned Obamacare – with President Obama sitting
just a few feet away.
Achilles heel: Carson is inflexibly conservative, opposing gay marriage
and once saying gay attachments formed in prison provided evidence that sexual orientation is a choice.
Ted Cruz Texas senator
Age on Election Day: 45
Religion: Southern Baptist
Base: Tea partiers
Résumé:U.S. senator. Former Texas solicitor general.
Former U.S. Supreme Court clerk. Former associate
deputy attorney general under President George W. Bush.
Education: B.A. Princeton University. J.D. Harvard Law School.
Family: Married to Heidi Nelson Cruz (2001), with two young daughters.
His father is a preacher and he has two half-sisters.
Claim to fame: Cruz spoke on the Senate floor for more than 21 hours in September 2013 to protest the inclusion of funding for
Obamacare in a federal budget bill. (The bill moved forward as written.) He has called for the complete repeal of the medical insurance overhaul law, and also for a
dismantling of the Internal Revenue Service. Cruz is also outspoken about border security.
Achilles heel: Cruz’s father Rafael, a Texas preacher,
is a tea party firebrand who has said gay marriage is a government conspiracy and called
President Barack Obama a Marxist who should ‘go back to Kenya.’ Cruz himself also has
a reputation as a take-no-prisoners Christian evangelical, which might play well in South Carolina but
won’t win him points in the other early primary states and could cost him momentum if he should be the GOP’s presidential nominee.
Jim Gilmore Former Virginia governor
Age on Election Day: 67
Religion: United Methodist
Base: Conservatives
Résumé: Former governor and attorney general
of Virginia. Former chairman of the Republican National Committee. Former U.S.
Army intelligence agent. President and CEO of the Free Congress Foundation. Board
member of the National Rifle Association
Education: B.A. University of Virginia.
Family: Married to Roxane Gatling Gilmore (1977), with two adult children. Mrs.
GIlmore is a survivor of Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Claim to fame: Gilmore presided over Virginia when the 9/11 terrorists struck in 1991, guiding the
state through a difficult economic downturn after
one of the hijacked airliners crashed into the Pentagon. He is nest known in Virginia for
eliminating most of a much-maligned personal property tax
on automobiles, working with a Democratic-controlled state legislature to get it
passed and enacted.
Achilles heel: Gilmore is the only GOP or Democratic candidate for president who has been the chairman of his political party, giving him a
rap as an ‘establishment’ candidate. A social-conservative crusader, he
is loathed by the left for championing the state law that
established 24-hour waiting periods for abortions.
Gilmore also has a reputation as an indecisive campaigner, having
dropped out of the 2008 presidential race in July 2007.
Mike Huckabee Former Arkansas governor
Age on Election Day: 61
Religion: Southern Baptist
Base: Evangelicals
Résumé: Former governor and lieutenant governor
of Arkansas. Former Fox News Channel host. Ordained minister and author.
Education: B.A. Ouachita Baptist University. Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (did not finish).
Family: Married to Janet Huckabee (1974), with three adult children. Mrs.
Huckabee is a survivor of spinal cancer.
Claim to fame: ‘Huck’ is a political veteran and has run for president
before, winning the Iowa Caucuses in 2008 and finishing second for the
GOP nomination behind John McCain. He’s known as an affable Christian and succeeded in building a huge following on his weekend
television program, in which he frequently sat
in on the electric bass with country & western groups and other ‘wholesome’ musical entertainers.
Achilles heel: Huckabee may have a problem with female voters.
He complained in 2014 about Obamacare’s mandatory contraception coverage, saying Democrats want women to ‘believe that they are helpless
without Uncle Sugar.’ He earned more scorn for hawking herbal supplements in early-2015 infomercials as a diabetes cure, something he has yet to disavow despite disagreement from medical experts.
John Kasich Ohio governor
Age on Election Day: 64
Religion: Anglican
Base: Centrists
Résumé: Governor of New York. Former chairman of the
U.S. House Budget Committee. Former Ohio congressman. Former Ohio state
senator.
Education: B.A. The Ohio State University.
Family: Married to Karen Waldbillig (1997). Divorced from Mary Lee Griffith (1975-1980).
Claim to fame: Kasich was Ohio youngest-ever member of the
state legislature at age 25. He’s known for a
compassionate and working-class sensibility that appeals
to both ends of the political spectrum. In the 1990s
when Newt Gingrich led a Republican revolution that took
over Congress, Kasich became the chairman of the House Budget Committee – a
position for a wonk’s wonk who understands the nuanced intricacies of
how government runs.
Achilles heel: Some of Kasich’s political positions rankle conservatives, including his choice to expand Ohio’s Medicare system under the Obamacare law, and his
support for the much-derided ‘Common Core’ education standards program.
Rand Paul Kentucky senator
Age on Election Day: 53
Religion: Presbyterian
Base: Libertarians
Résumé: US senator. Board-certified ophthalmologist.
Former congressional campaign manager for his
father Ron Paul.
Education: Baylor University (did not finish).
M.D. Duke University School of Medicine.
Family: Married to Kelley Ashby (1990), with three sons.
His father is a former Texas congressman who ran for president three
times but never got close to grabbing the brass ring.
Claim to fame: Paul embraces positions that are at odds with most in the GOP, including an anti-interventionist foreign policy, reduced military
spending, criminal drug sentencing reform for African-Americans and strict limits on government electronic
surveillance – including a clampdown on the
National Security Agency.
Achilles heel: Paul’s politics are aligned with those of his father,
whom mainstream GOPers saw as kooky. Both Pauls have advocated for a
brand of libertarianism that forces government to
stop domestic surveillance programs and limits foreign military interventions.
Rick Santorum Former Penn. senator
Age on Election Day: 58
Religion: Catholic
Base: Evangelicals
Résumé: Former US senator and former member of the House of
Representatives from Pennsylvania. Former lobbyist who represented World Wrestling Entertainment.
Education: B.A. Penn State University. M.B.A.
University of Pittsburgh. J.D. Penn State University
Dickinson School of Law.
Family: Married to Karen Santorum (1990), with seven living children.
One baby was stillborn in 1996. Another, named Isabella,
is a special needs child with a genetic disorder.
Claim to fame: Santorum won the 2012 Republican Iowa Caucuses by a nose.
He won by visiting all of Iowa’s 99 states in a pickup truck belonging to his state campaign director,
a consultant who now worls for Donald Trump.
Achilles heel: As a young lobbyist, Santorum persuaded the federal government
to exempt pro wrestling from regulations governing the use of anabolic steroids.
And the stridently conservative politician has attracted strong opposition from gay rights groups.
One gay columnist held a contest to redefine his name,
buying the ‘santorum.com’ domain to advertise the winning entry – which is too vulgar to print.
REPUBLICAN DROPOUTS
Rick Perry, former Texas governor
(withdrew Sept. 11, 2015)
Scott Walker, Wisconsin governor
(withdrew Sept. 21, 2015)
DEMOCRATS IN THE RACE
Lincoln Chafee Former Rhode Island governor
Age on Election Day: 63
Religion: Episcopalian Base:
Centrists
Résumé: Former Rhode Island governor. Former U.S.
senator. Former city councilman and mayor of Warwick, RI.
Education: B.A. Brown University. Graduate, Montana State University horseshoeing
school.
Family: Married to Stephanie Chafee (1990) with three children. Like him, his
father John Chafee was a Rhode Island governor and US senator, but also served as Secretary of the Navy.
Lincoln was appointed to his Senate seat when his father died in office.
Claim to fame: While Chafee was a Republican senator
during the George W. Bush administration, he cast his party’s only
vote in 2002 against a resolution that authorized military action in Iraq.
Hillary Clinton, also a senator then, voted in favor
- giving him a point of comparison that he hopes to ride to victory.
Achilles heel: Chafee’s lack of any significant party loyalty has turned allies into foes throughout
his political career, and Democrats aren’t sure he’s
entirely with them now. He was elected to the
Senate as a Republican in 2000 but left the party and declared himself a political independent after losing a re-election bid in 2006.
As an independent, he was elected governor in 2010. Now he’s
running for president as a Democrat.
Martin O’Malley Former Maryland governor
Age on Election Day: 53
Religion: Catholic
Base: Centrists
Résumé:Former Maryland governor. Former city councilor and mayor of
Baltimore, MD. Former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.
Education: B.A. Catholic University of America. J.D.
University of Maryland.
Family: Married to Katie Curran (1990) and they have four children. Curran is a district court judge in Baltimore.
Her father is Maryland’s attorney general.
O’Malley’s mother is a receptionists in the Capitol Hill office of Democratic Sen. Barbara Mikulski.
Claim to fame: O’Malley pushed for laws in Maryland legalizing same-sex marriage
and giving illegal immigrants the right to pay reduced tuition rates at
public universities. But he’s best known for
playing guitar and sung in a celtic band cammed ‘O’Malley’s March.’
Achilles heel: O’Malley may struggle in the Democratic primary since he endorsed Hillary Clinton eight years ago.
If he prevails, he will have to run far enough to her left to
be an easy target for the GOP. He showed political weakness when his hand-picked successor lost the 2014 governor’s race
to a Republican. But most troubling is his link with
Baltimore, whose 2016 race riots have made it a nuclear subject for politicians of all stripes.
Jim Webb Former Virginia senator
Age on Election Day: 70
Religion: Christian (nondenominational)
Base: War hawks and economic centrists
Résumé:Former U.S. senator from Virginia. Former U.S.
Secretary of the Navy under Ronamd Reagan. Former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs.
Education: B.A. US Naval Academy (transferred from the University of Southern California).
J.D. Georgetown University.
Family: Married to Hong Le Webb (2005). Divorced from Jo Ann Krukar (1981-2004).
Divorced from Barbara Samorajczyk (1968-1979).
Claim to fame: Webb is the rare Democrat who can bring
both robust defense credentials and a history of genuine bipartisanship to the race.
He served in Republican president Ronald Reagan’s defense directorate as Navy secretary, and earned both the Navy Star and the Purple Heart in combat.
Webb is also seen as a quiet scholar who has written more than a
half-dozen historical novels and a critically acclaimed history of Scots-Irish
U.S. immigrants.
Achilles heel: Webb has a reputation as a bit of a quitter.
He resigned his Navy secretary post over a budget-cut dispute just 10
months after taking the job, and he declined to run for re-election to the U.S.
Senate in 2006. He also attracted bad press for defending the use of the
Confederate flag as a heritage symbol for American southerners.
Amid a nationwide clamor to remove the flag
from the South Carolina statehouse grounds, he
wrote that Americans should ‘respect the complicated history of the Civil War.
… Honorable Americans fought on both sides.’
Hillary Clinton Former sec. of state
Age on Election Day: 69
Religion: United Methodist
Base: Liberals
Résumé:Former secretary of state. Former U.S. senator
from New York. Former U.S. first lady. Former Arkansas first lady.
Former law school faculty, University of Arkansas Fayetteville.
Education: B.A. Wellesley College. J.D. Yale Law School.
Family: Married to Bill Clinton (1975), the 42nd President of the United
States. Their daughter Chelsea is married to investment banker Marc Mezvinsky, whose mother was a 1990s one-term Pennsylvania congresswoman.
Claim to fame: Clinton was the first US first lady with a
postgraduate degree and presaged Obamacare with a failed attempt
at health care reform in the 1990s.
Achilles heel: A long series of financial and ethical scandals has dogged Clinton, including recent allegations that her husband and their family
foundation benefited financially from decisions she made as secretary of
state. Her performance surrounding the 2012 terror attack
on a State Department facility in Benghazi, Libya, has been catnip for
conservative Republicans. And her presidential campaign has been marked by an unwillingness to engage
journalists, instead meeting with hand-picked groups of voters.
Bernie Sanders* Vermont senator
Age on Election Day: 75
Religion: Jewish
Base: Far-left progressives
Résumé:U.S. senator. Former U.S. congressman. Former mayor of Burlington,
VT.
Education: B.A. University of Chicago.
Family: Married to Jane O’Meara Sanders (1988), a former president of Burlington College.
He has one child from a previous relationship and is stepfather to three from Mrs.
Sanders’ previous marriage. His brother Larry
is a Green Party politician in the UK and formerly served on the Oxfordshire County Council.
Claim to fame: Sanders is an unusually blunt, and unapologetic pol,
happily promoting progressivism without hedging.
He is also the longest-serving ‘independent’ member of Congress
- neither Democrat nor Republican.
Achilles heel: Sanders describes himself as a ‘democratic socialist.’ At a time of huge GOP electoral gains, his far-left ideas don’t poll well.
He favors open borders, single-payer universal health insurance, and greater government control over media ownership.
* Sanders is running as a Democrat but has no party affiliation in the Senate.
DEMOCRATS IN THE HUNT
Joe Biden, U.S. vice president
Biden would be a natural candidate as the White House’s sitting second-banana, but
his reputation as a one-man gaffe factory could keep Democrats from taking him seriously.
Elizabeth Warren, Massachusetts senator
Warren is a populist liberal who could give Hillary Clinton headaches by challenging her
from the left, but she has said she has no plans to run and is happy in the U.S.
Senate.
