The Mother Jones interviewer asked him if he'd like to be Vice President, and here's his response:
No. But anybody that runs for the president will have to go through Ohio, literally and figuratively. The Democrats need to nominate somebody that will be an economic populist, that will stand up for the middle class, that doesn't just want to increase the minimum wage but somebody that will work to put the government on the side of working families. And that means different trade policy, standing up to the drug industry, taking on the oil industry. It means showing that the Democratic Party is a progressive, populist party.
Doesn't that just warm your heart? We've all been waiting a long time to hear Dems say stuff like this.
The new Senate has Sherrod Brown, Jim Webb, Jon Tester, and Bernie Sanders. We've got some good times ahead, friends.
