48. So many people long to see themselves as victims....I remember an almost perfect candidate...
I'm sure you do to. It was 1972 and George McGovern was perfectly progressive in every possible way. And we all remember how that turned out-38% and a 49 state loss. I'll settle for a flawed Barack Obama any day of the week. He wasn't my first choice, nor my second but he was the choice of the voters of the Democratic party and that 's good enough for me.

Principles are wonderful but appointing the next four supreme court justices is FAR more important.
