Sanders, an independent who describes himself as a "democratic socialist," will follow a statement with a major campaign kickoff in his home state in several weeks. Two people familiar with his announcement spoke to The Associated Press under condition of anonymity to describe internal planning.
Sanders will become the second major Democrat in the race, joining Clinton. He has urged the former secretary of state to speak out strongly about issues related to income inequality and climate change. The former first lady and New York senator is viewed as a heavy favorite in the primary and entered the race earlier this month.
Give them hell Bernie! It is time to pull this party to the left. He is a Old Fashion New Deal Populist. It is time to put some excitement into this election and take it up a notch to the left.
Comments
This is what we will see and hear from him in the next year.

The repubs call us all commies and socialists anyway.
But Bernie says:
Screw you all, I am a socialist, SO THERE!

He is certainly not a corporatist pall. They don't own him. He is not afraid to stand up to them. What we are going to see is how much the country really wants to roll back oligarchy power. He will be the lightening rod to measure that by.
If he can chip away at HRC lead to make her work for it, that will also wake up Congress to push back on GOP temper tantrums and put people first.

I am hoping he picks up enough support in the poling to pull HRC to the left. I am tired of this right of center talk. The country isn't there. He will be good for this election cycle for the Democratic Party.

I'm just now getting emails from Jim Webb's group so it wouldn't surprise me if he announces his candidacy as well.

That is good. He will round out the debate for this election. There will be good ideas coming from all ends of the party.

Bernie Sanders on reddit has 3800+ comments in the last 2 days. Skimming through it, I noticed majority are positive. Promises to change registration from Independent to Democrat so to vote for him.Others are promising to register to vote so they can vote for him. His donate site crashed the first night from too many wanting to donate directly to him. His big donors are unions. In fact the list is the who, who's of unions.
It looks like he is going to keep the Elisabeth Warren wing of the party engaged. I don't think I have ever seen a comment list like that on reddit.
He will do well in New Hampshire. He is well known up there because of the Tom Hartman Radio Show. That means voters who are not committed to HRC will pull a Democrat ballot instead of a GOP ballot. So that leaves just the hard core right voting GOP. That is not good news for Bush. It will be good for the Democrats to have a lively primary. There is a hunger among young voters for a non insider. Someone that won't be bought.

His donate site crashed after he announced.

35,000 donors! That should throw the pundits off balance. 100,000 signed up on his site. Non of the Republicans that have announced so far has done as well.
This is wonderful. That means Democrats are going to be engaged this cycle from the left. That will be very good for down ticket local races. We did well in 2008 when people had something to work for. Labor has been absent to long from the table. Welcome back.
