Stamp Foot, Pout and Say: I Won't Vote For (Candidate Name)
I don't think the candidate on candidate bashing is a bad thing. As has been pointed out, Rove will do far worse, with far greater resources to whoever emerges with the nomination. Let the candidate with the most impressive teflon come forth! I'm a little more concerned about claims from supporters of various candidates that if certain other candidates get the nomination, they'll sit out the election. I don't see how one can justify this. Any of our candidates is an improvement over Bush's criminal cadre. Why people can't see this baffles the hell out of me. Think Supreme Court Appointments. Think environmental concerns. Think preservation of vital social programs. Read some of Paul Krugman's columns.

Maybe the folks saying they won't back x, y or z, are just speaking in the heat of the moment. I hope so. It's going to take all of to get the Pretender out of the WH and on the road back to Crawford.

End of rant.

1. I agree, it is impossible to get a perfect candidate,
but we must stick together to defeat the warmongers who have ruined nearly everything in this country. It is wrong to say there is no difference between Dems and repugs, and even if the differences are small, those small differences extrapolate into big differences for individuals, the environment, and international relations. Work hard to get a good candidate, but even if your first choice doesn't get the nomination, be a good sport and support the Dem. nominee.

2. I'd Rather Beat Chest, Growl and Say: I Won't Vote For Bush!
And each time I do that, I force myself to skip over an Anti-Dean thread started by a Kerry supporter. It helps!

4. Heat of the moment, clar.

I've been hearing this from some for over a year, now. I honestly believe that less than a handful of them will sit the election out or allow Bush to win. I don't care how vitriolic they may be about a candidate. NOONE poses more danger than a Bush win in 2004. I have faith in this crowd.
