Yet, that gesture didn't help AT ALL.

This time, let's go with our hearts and stop worrying about electability. I really hope Iowa and NH understand, this time around.

2. and he won
it was hardly Kerry's fault that those historic lines of people waiting to vote in Ohio which stretched for hours were all basically ignored or tossed in the rubbish bin or magically "switched" over to *. It's amazing to me how people who evidently LIVED the History decide to rewrite it the way the Media spins it!

3. If you are saying Hillary was considered "electable"
All this time, or people don't post DIRE WARNING threads every day about the DANGERS of nominating Clinton I would say some people want to have it both ways.

"She isn't electable.... and if she is we shouldn't vote for the "electable" candidate."

What you mean is you don't want Hillary and believe me, that message is loud and clear on DU.

For the repukes! Sorry, as much as it pains me, electability, HAS to factor in my decision.

8. Whoever looks the part
I don't make the rules, but with a name like "Truth Hurts a Lot" I shouldn't have to tell you, the rules of this game, and it is a game, fucking suck.
