59. ABB is about democrats, by democrats, who want to stay democrats...
Until recently when people have had to actually step up and accept the fact that (shock!) we may not actually get a candidate who is morally pure and some sort of corruption fighting superhero, ABB meant that within the democratic party, those who are democrats and who fully realize that despite all it's flaws, is still our best opportunity for change in this country and as such would vote for any DEMOCRAT in the primary field come the general election.

Many of us didn't think Clinton was any great shakes but you know what? He did a lot of good for this country that wouldn't have happened if he wasn't president.

So Vote Nader. I dont' plan on begging any liberals to vote for the Dem nominee. It's going to be much easier to convince moderate, undediceds, swing voters and disenchanted liberals. They aren't demanding ideological purity. Just someone who can get the job done without destroying the country. They don't care about shady conspiracy theories and secret societies or who is "taking the fight to Bush". In fact many of them don't even HATE Bush. Those people will be more easily convinced. Come to think of it, my two year old daughter could probably be more easily convinced of the concept that you can't always get 100% of your way 100% of the time.
