Very happy to see Sen. Sanders running. Who else should?

I didn't think that Bernie Sanders would actually run. Very happy about it. We need more perspectives.

Personally I'd love to see Elizabeth Warren run, but she keeps saying that she's not going to. Who might be off the MSM radar right now that could/should throw their hat in the ring?

Rightwingers in California really hate him and I LOVE that

Really wanted him to win then...

Might support him this time around too, but I'd have to see his platform. I think he needs to be a bit more vocal on populist issues, which is probably hard for him to do as governor now.

But we probably want to try to get a governor Brown in the state of Washington first, so that we can have a Governor Brown on each of our west coast states!

of weeks ago.

His stances most closely align with mine. Not exactly, mind you (well those of you who would post here to say "bu-bu-but what about...&quot

But, I'm thrilled about Bernie, and he's my guy if Chafee doesn't enter the race.

But I think he has been taken out by Baltimore. He was Mayor for 8 years and Governor for 8 more. He can't exactly say he did not know of any problems there.

She wants some cushion between her and Bernie. The difference would be night and day if it is just the two of them.
