29. Your avatar is Lieberman!
And you're lecturing me on who is liberal and who isn't?! Also, I find your analysis of the political process simplistic; the primaries have always been decided by bigwigs, just look at the flap over "superdelegates". As for Wallace, he showed strong support not only in the South, but in several midwest states, as well.

And you're still ignoring my point; my question was whether you would have supported Wallace, had he won the nomination? For that matter, suppose Sen. Byrd somehow won the nomination; should we support him, today?

As for "more liberal than McCain", that's a pretty low bar, and they barely clear it.

And anybody who thinks it is either has no grasp of history, or is fooling themselves.

If you're right, then I'm fooling myself; I find it more likely that you are simply ignoring the facts because you desperately want it to be true, and I understand! Really! I would love to see someone change things, but I don't see that someone running for president. All I see is more of the same.
