Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders says he'll decide by March whether to launch a 2016 presidential campaign and, if so, whether he'll seek the Democratic nomination. Either way, Sanders says he wouldn't run just to nudge the debate to the left.
"I don't want to do it unless I can do it well," he told The Associated Press. "I don't want to do it unless we can win this thing."
Sanders, a socialist, said he grew up "solidly lower middle class" in a Jewish family in Brooklyn — his father, an immigrant from Poland, sold paint for a living —and his views about the distribution of wealth were formed early.

Run, Bernie! Run!
Who knows, 2016 could become the battle of the giants, as Bernie Sanders and Ben Carson face off to see which political giant, will become the next President of the United States.
I though he was already in the race. Well, if he’s still mulling the decision, I suspect that he will not run, but he will ‘threaten’ to re-enter the race if the actual nominee is not Left enough.
I’m confused I guess. Is he gonna run or march? Maybe jog? Headers can be so stupid. :>}
Good grief! Who cares about this imbecilic moron?
I think George McGovern would be too conservative to be nominated by today’s Democratic Party.
Doesn’t matter one whit. The libs will rally around their nominee, no matter who s/he is.
Oh, I’m sure we’re all waiting with bated breath.
Man oh man, just goes to show you how insulated and removed from reality DC can make a person.
There is no socialist like an old socialist.
Sanders or Warren will make a half-hearted run to get the far left organized, then, when the time is right, pull out and endorse Hillary. The only “debate” in the Democratic party is for show.
That says a lot about the times we live in. Like gays before them ... the socialists will start coming out of the closet and admitting they are socialists instead of hiding from the label. It won't be that much longer (I think) when an admitted socialist wins the Presidency since they probably have the votes to do it now.
Sanders/Warren ‘16
Colonel Sanders-YES
Commie Sanders-NO
Jesse Ventura is made of Presidential Timber, IMNVHO. Of course, he would need a Black-ish Woman to balance the ticket. Beyoncé springs immediately to mind.
I would be willing to hold all campaign contributions while momentum for this outstanding slate develops at the Grass Roots.
Iowa, here we come!
That man in the mirror’s been telling him to run!
At least Newsmax correctly identifies a democrat as being a socialist.
Hey, he should get Liz as a running mate or squaw or whatever...
