48. It would give me a Democrat to vote for.
I like the rare opportunity to vote FOR someone, instead of against someone else.

I'm not naive enough to think the party is smart enough, principled enough, or evolved enough that he would win. I'd still like to have a decent choice on the ballot at least at some point.
