Do you think Sen. Bernie Sanders should run for the Democratic Party nomination for President?

[Douglas Carpenter]

Sen. Sanders has taken a trip to New Hampshire in just the past week to explore the possibility of entering the race for the Democratic Party nomination for President. Yes, we ALL know that he is currently an independent who caucuses and supports the national Democratic Party. So, of course he would have to officially join the Democratic Party to do that. But he wouldn't be going to New Hampshire - the first major partisan primary in the nation to explore an independent race or seek the Green Party nomination or run as Republican, now would he?

This is not a question of whether you would personally support him in the contest for the Democratic Party nomination or think he has good chance of winning - it is a question of whether you think it would be a good thing if he entered the race.

	If he wants to - he is welcome to try - but I don't think it will make much difference one way or another

	I think Sen. Sanders should give up his exploration of a possible run for the Democratic Party nomination and instead run as an independent or third party Presidential candidate

	Speaking of New Hampshire - if I was there in the winter preparing for the primary season - I would surely enjoy a nice hot cup of hot chocolate and a warm and crispy croissant.
