Yea, I'm a little confused on how he gets on Democratic Primary Ballots.

I would imagine progressive activists within the Dem party would be able to gather the signatures needed to get him on a lot of ballots. And I don't see this being a big problem in the early states where ballot access is fairly easy. But if he makes a surprise run, states like Pennsylvania, Texas, and New York where a lot of delegates could be at stake could be a problem.

Big endorsement..... Occupy?
The big question can he gather all the money he will need to run a successful primary campaign against Hillary Clinton?

Why Bernie Sanders Is the Only Populist Candidate for President

http://www.occupy.com/article/why-bernie-sanders-only-populist-candidate-presidentAs Bernie Sanders stood politely next to the microphone at the Hanover, NH, home of Jon Fox and Darrell Hotchkiss, Fox, who was introducing Sanders, joked about how he offered Sanders a tie at an event in Burlington, Vt., when Sanders was still mayor.“He absolutely wouldn’t let me give him the tie. He told me, ‘I hate those things,’” Fox said.As the packed audience of dozens at Fox and Hotchkiss’s house stood captivated, Sen. Sanders asked a few rhetorical questions about the stark inequality between the haves and have-nots in today’s United States:

Do you all think he has a real shot at the Presidency ?

Bernie is savvy. I think he knows he cannot win. But he wants the poor to have a voice in this election

Then by that do you mean his entrance will force the others (perhaps just Hillary) to alter their political stance on certain things aimed at the poor ?  If so what might be some examples. If not the above, then how will they have a "voice".

Yes, I think that he hopes to get Hillary to adopt some language and effort towards addressing the problems of income inequity.

Do you know some specifics of what Bernie will push for that might generate comment here  ?
