I got mad at him at one point and leaped to conclude he was running for VP on Hillary's ticket. After the quoted statement that seems unlikely.

He has always been my definite and acceptable second choice. I am trying to redeem myself by taking a more nuanced view of his strategy and tactics. Bottom line: his excellent record as governor makes him an attractive progressive candidate. With his nomination, I could retain hope for transformative change. With Hillary as nominee, close to no hope at all.
