I think people forget the purpose of the primaries is about the platform, not the candidates per se. I have been looking for a way clear to vote for HRC, should she become that candidate, and precious little of the content of this board has actually told me what she will be held to...not what she stands for...but what she will actually do. You see, "weathervane" is not necessarily a bad thing...it describes a pure politician, who really stands for nothing, but represents whatever the platform says. I can live with that, as long as the platform conforms to my values, and the candidate is wed to the platform. You lay out a most reasonable course Scootaloo. And I did not think it possible, your positions opens a path, if needs be, to just vote...not even hold my nose. But the hard, hard part will be to convince me that the platform is anything more than a bait and switch. I need not be totally convince but know this: there's too much tinder in the forest to be playing with that fire.
