A DUMB REASON TO SUPPORT ANY CANDIDATE
Your personal feelings, hurt, or anguish.

How about their issues, their platform, their advisers and tsk-tsk THEIR RECORD?!!

Sorry please carry on with YOUR agenda (meaning feelings) and at all costs avoid Reality*.


* But of course calling this reality-based politics.

1. To heck with all those reasons.
I am making a pragmatic decision based SOLELY on which candidate is more likely to defeat the most likely Republican contender (McCain).

7. If people used their vote to put people in office rather than keep people out,
we wouldn't have all these either-or races. The fact that so many people won't vote for candidates in whom they believe because they think other people are voting for somebody else is not helping progressive causes.
