ABK until Kerry has 2,161 Delegates, then ABB in November....

[scheming daemons]

How many people feel the same?

If the first part succeeds (ABK) in getting Edwards the nomination, the second part (ABB) is more likely to succeed as well.

I think if we lose the first, we lose the second.

1. Edwards as the nominee

is four more years of George Bush (no thanks).

[Frances]

2. Well, you can always vote for Nader

Oh, you must have been kidding and forgot to put sarcasm

[JVS]

3. I'm almost with you. Still considering my options.

ABK until the primary is decided sounds good. ABB is less attractive.

4. I would rather have someone other than Kerry

be the nominee but I won't say "ABK". Remember shrub is the enemy here and whether or not people think that Kerry can beat shrub or not, we must not have fights between our party members. More fuel for Range Rover, shrub and crew.

5. That describes me.

Our party does not need to fight the 'Massachussetts liberal' and 'Taxachussetts' themes in November.

[Old and In the Way]

6. I don't understand ABB in November part.

The ABB is really only operative in terms of the primaries....unless you are encouraging 3rd party options in the GE. I'd hope that wouldn't be the case.

7. I think you've got it backwards

the Dem primaries are for choosing the Dem nominee
ABB is a call to vote for the Dem nominee in NOV (even if s/he isn't the one you wanted)

[Old and In the Way]

9. I don't think so.

ABB in November could mean voting Indie, Green, or Democrat. It only truly makes sense when applied to the Democratic primaries....an informal agreement that irregardless who we support thru the primaries, we will be ABB after the convention.

8. ABE in 2004

Edwards would get mauled in this election

[Walt Starr]

10. I'm now ABK in the primaries too

I'll vote Dem in November regardless, but now that Dean is out, I'm an Edwards guy.

[JVS]

11. What happened to the rule of 5%?

A good and just rule IMHO

[Walt Starr]

13. I should have used the word probably

:evilgrin:

But for now, I'm for Edwards because only Edwards stands a chance of taking down Kerry, and I believe it is imperative Kerry is not the nominee.

[oasis]

12. ABK would be ABM

A big mistake.
