'Think there was a big mis-understanding about Bernie running in the primary
on DU today. I just heard him say what COULD have been interpreted as him saying he would consider challenging Obama in the primary but its not, actually, what he said.

What he said was he would consider talking to certain OTHER people he thought would be good candidates about challenging Obama - NOT that he was thinking about doing it himself.

I thought it was a little odd as he has always said in the past he never would consider running and he still isn't but he will try to talk some one else into it.

Probably a younger person who is committed to his same progressive values - Sherrod Brown?

1. Sherrod Brown would be great but not as strong a candidate
as Bernie Sanders. Bernie would speak to the young like a grandfather and to the old like a brother.

Sherrod is very good too.

3. Too early for Sherrod Brown, but 2016 is a possibility.
I like him a lot, myself, and wouldn't mind voting for him at all.

2. People often tend to hear what they want to hear rather than what they actually hear
