OTL, Sen. Jim Jeffords of Vermont won re-election to the Senate in 2000, but became an independent and caucused with the Democrats instead. He later retired, and was succeeded by Bernie Sanders in 2006.

What if Jeffords decided to retire early instead? Could we see Bernie run for the Senate seat and win - or is it too early? What role does he play in the Senate? Does he mount an earlier presidential campaign in 2004 or 2008? etc.
