3. Probably
because no matter who we nominate, it is likely to be better than what the Repugs nominate.

Unless we totally screw up and nominate Biden. In which case I'll sit out the election as far as activism, and vote Green.

4. Yes, unless some miracle happens and there is a VERY strong
3rd party.

14. To be completely honest, a banana slug (D) could do a better job...
than any repug, because at least a slug wouldn't mess anything up.

10. that depends on their platform and their record....

Naturally. There are some current democratic candidates that I'd be proud to support, and others that I will never support.

11. Kucinich , i'd not sleep for six months in order to get him elected.
the other's I'd work less hard for. maybe, Edward's might cause me to work harder. The one I'd have to hold my nose in order to vote for would be Biden.

12. If....
If the worm ridden corpse of Richard Nixon was exhumed, registered as a Democrat, and was naominated to run, I would still vote for him over any Republican candidate.

I used to be annoyed by "Yellow Dog" Democrats, but I've realized at this stage of our countries political disease half measures are worthless.

16. Depends on who gets selected...then, maybe, and that's a promise.
"I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all." --Thomas Jefferson
