1. Do you want to lose the Election?

[rurallib]

5. No - but I can dream can't I?

[MadBadger]

6. As long as you admit its a dream.

2. The country would not accept a socialist candidate as VP

You may not agree, but that is the way I believe it is

[rox63]

11. He also isn't a member of the Dem party

He's an independent. I expect Obama will choose a Dem.

That said, that sounds like a wonderful ticket to me.

3. Fail

Tragic fail.

4. I love Bernie to death....but can you imagine the smear machine.....

"BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA PICKS PINKO COMMIE BERNIE SANDERS AS RUNNING MATE"

.... which sounds great to me, but I suspect I'm way left of the mainstream.

8. I know, I know - Just dreaming

"I have a dream that politicians of all stripes someday will give a shit what people really think."

7. Geographical considerations.

And as lovable as Bernie is--he doesn't offer the balance Barack needs

9. How about Obama just puts Sanders in as Secretary of Labor?

That would give the Republicans a seizure!

10. Sorry but Sanders is not a Democrat

I can't imagine the convention approving a move like that.

12. A PERFECT brew for disaster. nt

13. In my perfect world, YES!. But you know Bernie won't get nascar votes...

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

14. See my sig...

[Armstead]

15. I'd love it as you can tell from my avatar and sig .line

And if anyone can bring a progressive vision to the mainstream, it's Bernie. Forget the labels, Sanders is a kitchen table liberal in the best sense of the word.

But he's not a Democrat, so....

[knixphan]

16. yeah, I forgot about that party thing...
