But I think he was more to the left than most of todays politicians. He was actually afraid of being branded as in the pocket of "Big Business" (White House transcripts).

I think Bernie can pull off a "Wellstone". Thousands of enthusiastic volunteers going door-to-door in every state. Bypass the media and PACs.

Down here in Florida, the formerly "liberal" Tampa Bay Times doesn't even mention him. But today they have their obligatory puff piece on Jeb Bush being a self-made man. It's Jeb and Rubio, 24/7.
