Reply #34: I'll work harder for a better candidate [View All]

I'll support the candidacy of the candidate who receives the nomination, but I intend to put my money and support in first at the nomination stage.

This presents a quandary for people around another candidate. Those who believe their candidate is a foregone conclusion have no reason to consider a switch, if they think that their candidate will both become the eventual nominee and pick up, by default, all the energy supporters are giving to their own candidate.

I will work harder for the eventual candidate, if that candidate is Dennis Kucinich, because I believe he more truly espouses the core principles I believe made the Democratic Party great in the 20th Century.

If the candidate is another of my top couple, the energy I put forth to that candidacy may approach that which I would have put forth for Kucinich.

If the candidate is someone other than my top picks, then I'll respond to a call or two from the local Democratic organization to help out, and perhaps do some door knocking. It would be unlikely that I would contribute money to this candidate.

I continue to believe that Dennis Kucinich represents the best opportunity for Democrats to get back to their roots, and to clearly and forcefully repudiate the damage Reagan, Bush, and Bush have done to this nation.
