I am sad to say I have changed my mind about whom to support for president

[UnapologeticLiberal]

I have been supporting Howard Dean since February, and I still greatly respect him and think that he would make a wonderful president. However, this president has been a disaster for this country, and since I cannot even comprehend the devastation that would result from four more years, I have decided that we must support the candidate who has the best chance of winning, not the candidate we like the best. Therefore, I have decided I must throw my support behind the Democrat who stands the best chance of beating Bush: "Generic Democrat."

According to a new poll by Scott Rasmussen, "Generic Democrat" is tied with Bush 42-42, whereas all the specific contenders and non-contenders mentioned (why do they insist on continuing to harp on the prospect of Hilary Clinton running for president when she has said unequivocally that she is NOT RUNNING?) continue to lose to Bush by more than 10 points. Therefore, "Generic Democrat" appears to have the best shot at beating Bush, and that is whom I will throw my support behind.

But you can still buy my Dean stuff:

1. That is certainly NOT Howard Dean

14. Kerry is more electable?

You think the Mass. liberal is going to sell better to swing voters than the Vermont liberal? Perhaps Kerry's identical support for civil unions will discern him from Dean. Maybe Kerry's more aggressive gun control stance will help him in the South. Or, what about Kerry's far superior oratorical skills, compared to Dean (not sarcasm).

Edwards may be more electable than Dean... Clark probably is... and a good argument can be made that Gephardt is. But, there is NO WAY that Kerry is more electable than Howard Dean.

15. Correct. Generic Democrat = John Kerry

Just kidding. Don't hit me, Will. ;-)

2. You're Funny and had me going there for a while!

And that is one example of why I don't trust the damn polls.

[UnapologeticLiberal]

17. LOL...I had a few people going for a little while

And in case anyone else is wondering, yes, I was kidding. I am still a Dean supporter, tried and true! Just got back from meetup and am trying to get as many American University students as possible to go to see him in College Park, MD on Monday night.

And yes, I am still selling t-shirts and other stuff:

3. so you are ABB?

18. Free Kielbasa?

I'm there dude!

[Evanstondem]

5. Generic Democratic

I agree. "Generic Democrat" is the only candidate that has not expressed a single opinion that I disagree with!

[Cooley Hurd]

6. Generic Democrat grew up in my hometown...

...'cept we knew him as "Genny." A helluva guy, that Genny Democrat. His sister was hot, too (Libby Democrat).

[burr]

7. Zell Miller for PreZ???

He is a Vince Lombardi DINO...winning aint the important thing, it's the only thang!

[TacticalPeek]

8. Maybe the Hog Farm could loan us Nobody.

Is there still a Hog Farm? Maybe Son of Nobody?

9. very clever and perfectly constructed....

I am impressed.

[virtualobserver]

10. speaking of Dean stuff, can anyone tell me who sells the black Dean shirts

they are so cool.

[RevolutionStartsNow]

12. Black Dean shirts?

Tell me more! (I dig black t-shirts, and already have 2 white Dean shirts.)

[virtualobserver]

16. I saw them being worn by humans at the San Antonio rally....

but I can't find any on the internet.

[damnraddem]

11. I see your point. I feel your pain.

But ol' Genny Dem just doesn't do it for me.

[cliss]

13. new repug thug tactics

I read recently that those repugnant pugs the republicans have a despicable plan to throw a monkey wrench in our plans.

They are planning to divide the democratic party by watching who floats to the surface over the next few months. Then, they are going to pump $$millions$$ into a less popular contender, like maybe Lieberman, just to divide the party and break it into fractions.

They are planning to hang on with their greasy fingernails, so expect to see something like that in the next few months: a down-and-outer suddenly appears out of nowhere to create havoc.

So unapologetic is probably right.

19. There was a Freeper thread begging for Kerry to win the nomination...

according to the Freeps, Kerry is the real McGovern candidate.
