"...Sanders said again that he is inclined to run in the Democratic primary but has yet to make a final decision on campaign matters. Devine, in his interview, said running within the party “means you have an infrastructure and you don’t need to be on the outside, being a Ralph Nader-type candidate....”

Tad Devine,....potential Sanders campaign manger and (one of the Democratic Party’s leading consultants and a former high-level campaign aide to Al Gore, John Kerry, and Michael Dukakis ) also thinks he is entitled to that "Democratic money" as well as the benefits and support of the party infrastructure.

Sounds like a plan!!

Go Bernie!
