This was an interesting read. I think that in 2015 having a child out of wedlock is really a non-issue. Especially since he cared for and helped to raise the child. It's certainly not nearly as alarming to me as, for example, using a personal email account to conduct official business while in office and then deleting the more damning evidence before handing the account over to the state department. I do take Bernie's avoidance of mudslinging with a grain of salt now. There's a difference between not playing a game because you're sure to lose and refusing to play a game out of principle.

That said, many of those quotes from 1973 might as well have been taken from his speeches this year. Show me another politician who says the same thing as a no-name third party candidate as he does as a Senator 40 years later. I really hope we can elect this man.
