I was under the impression he's already stated if he ran it would be as a Democrat.

It would make the most sense, if he runs as an Independent he could spoil the election for the Democrats and hand it to the Pubs. Bernie is no egomaniac like Ralph Nader, I don't think he would risk that.

If Sanders were to run as an Independent, I can see him winning Vermont.

No.  He's consistently said that he's undecided as to whether he would run as a Democrat or an Indy.  But he's also said that he doesn't want to be a "spoiler", which strongly suggests that he'd run as a Dem.

"Then of course, there's that other thing," she said. "Well, it is true, I am thinking about it. But for today, that is not why I'm here — I'm here for the steak."

Well, that settles it. She's not running.

Paul says he'll decide by spring.

IDK, getting elected as a Republican in Maryland is a pretty good electoral history, even if its just once.
