Reply #3: Well, I have a different take. We should all be supporting our candidates [View All]

but we should also have the strategic goal of denying Kerry the delegates necessary to avoid a brokered convention.

For me, Kerry represents what's wrong with this party (and, frankly, Edwards is second on that list only because of his short tenure). We need Dems like Dean, Clark, Kucinich and Sharpton who aren't afraid to stand behind their positions.

The DLC seems to have chosen our nominee. Let's make this a real election again. At the convention, we can decide who REALLY stands for what we believe.

I'd encourage ALL of the candidates' supporters to support your chioce until the convention. Let's let the race run that far, though...

...at the very least, it would send a message to the "party leadership" that we don't like being "handled".

On edit, I think this thread should address Dean, Clark, Kucinich and Sharpton supporters. Edwards might not be able to match Kerry's time in Congress, but he CAN match Kerry's "three bad votes". He doesn't belong in a thread taking issue with Kerry, IMHO.
