Progressive Democratic Party?

[NoodleBoy]

I've just been thinking, since all this stuff about Sanders has come up, about how the Farmer-Labor Party in Minnesota united with the Democratic party to become Democratic Farmer-Labor, to combine their electoral strength. It's obviously worked fantastically well, so could the same thing happen in Vermont?

There would probably have to be alot of give and take, but I was thinking maybe a Sanders senate run could spur uniting the two groups into a no-spoiler party.
