Obama a Constitutional lawyer professor? God help his students. I hope a primary challenge is in the works. Sen Sanders-thank you for pointing out the failure of the media to do it's job.

I would vote for a turd before I would vote for Obama. As I've stated before, "HE IS NOT A DEMOCRAT!"

@raj1037 That just shows you how ignorant people are. I used to have a co-worker who said how he wanted people to fend for themselves. Then I told him that his state (Oklahoma) gets lots of money from the gov. because they dont put that much in the coffer.  He was shocked. He looked it up and when he saw it was true, he apologized and rethought his position. Most right wingers are not bad people, they are just ignorant to the facts.

@YouKnowWhoElse I'm Australian so I'm actually partially disgusted with myself that I have no life so that I actually knew this rubbish

People are afraid of demanding something better in fear of getting something worse.

@YouKnowWhoElse its cut but I believe what he says is caucuses with the Democrats which he does do in exchange for continued support for his seat so they don't run a candidate against him.

And Blitzer is totally out of tune with the subject. It's in one ear and out the other.

He doesn't agree or disagree with Sanders in an effort to stay neutral, regardless if it's right or wrong.

THAT'S why I hate CNN.

I can't keep hearing this secondary mindset Wolf tried to lead Sanders on. Senator, Obama WILL NOT WIN. You must defend the collective and challange the president. If you do not run I will lend my vote to Ron Paul. I'm a 21 year old black poor atheist socialist progressive democratic-republican student, I nominate you to bring back happines. Bernie Sanders President 2012

As anyone with half a brain can see Sen. Bernie Sanders is a national treasure. His voice has always rung loud and clear in favor of the people of this country!

I know Bernie has stated on several occasions that he has no interest in running for president, but PLEASE, for the sake of every average American (yes, we the unemployed, the underemployed, those with no health care, the elderly, the poor and the hungry children, and the majority who are just plain sick and tired of the millionaires, billionaires and corporations getting richer by the minute), we NEED YOU BERNIE!!
