    Good article

    I actually got it from the N. Y. Times:

  vague memory

  I have a vague memory of seeing his name on campaign signs in the same yards that were sporting signs for George Bush. Was I dreaming? I hope that winning elections is not the most important qualification for running for office. If so, we are in big trouble. I believe that many of our most skilled future leaders have not yet won an election. However, I believe that he’s currently a US Senator. Go, Bernie, go.

    Winning qualifications.

    Winning elections is the single most important qualification for being in office.

  Bernie is running as a democrat and can't be a spoiler

  Since he is running as a democrat, he can’t be a spoiler in the election. He has pledged to not run for president if he does not win the nomination.

    That's what I thought mr.mike was referring to, also

    Then I remembered that Nader also drew huge crowds at events, but it didn’t translate into votes at the polls.
