Admins: I do not intend this to be a violation of DU rules. I am not advocating, just informing.

If you interpret this as a violation please just take the post down and do not tombstone me. Thanks.

5. one concern...

could he run for president without giving up his senate seat? Like kerry did?

7. Bernie Sanders sure looks like the man for the job after watching him on CSPAN2 today!

i don't think you're breaking any rules - he's not running (yet) and he is very much a liberal and progressive. Much more so than some (many) Dems.

8. It's worth a try!

Bernie's speech and his tenacity are inspiring and riveting!
