Reply #16: I don't know that Gore would be the BEST choice [View All]

Although he would definitely be a good choice.

My philosophy is this - we all have a common goal, and that's to rid this country of the selected Administration. And while I obviously support Dean, I will fervently support whoever gets the Democratic nomination. I HOPE that we all will. I hope for a Dean/Clark ticket, because I think THEY TOGETHER CAN BEAT BUSH. And THAT is what is most important to me at this point.

Am I in line with every policy of any candidate? Not really. I'm pretty liberal, and a candidate that supports all of my beliefs wouldn't be electable and I know that. I'm realistic, and we really need to be realistic and keep our focus for 2004. Because they will win if we as a party are as disjointed as we were in 2000. That's what they're counting on - they're counting on infighting and weak support of the Democratic nominee. We need to be focused and concentrate on getting the Bush Administration out of there. My 8 yr old son could do a better job at running the country than Bush. So even if say, Lieberman wins the nom (my least favorite of the Dem candidates), we have to force ourselves to pile on and support him. Because even though whoever gets the nom will not appeal to everyone, we have to remember that the most important thing is getting Bush OUT.
