If your state has a primary tomorrow
Get out and Vote. I know many of you want to vote for your candidate to make a statement and I find that admirable and totally respect that position, however, I am asking that we all vote for Senator Kerry tomorrow. He will be our candidate and we can make a big statement for him (and us) tomorrow.

My candidate, General Clark will be on my state ballot, but I am going to proudly cast my vote for Senator Kerry. I think that is what General Clark would want me to do. Please join me.

1. What is the use of supporting a candidate
if you can't vote for them? I don't see that logic at all. This isn't the general election.

3. And this has nothing to do with logic, either. n/t

2. Sure, vote for Kerry.. join the crowd...
...and totally negate even the slightest possibility that you have the minimal chance of resisting the destruction of this party through the internal infection of the DLC neocon moles.

Save your "unity" speeches for July. We're stuck with Kerry. We don't have to be stuck with PNAC in a new wrapper.

4. I would have made the same post regardless
of who the leading candidate was at this point in the race. I will continue to preach unity and hope that all candidates in the party race for the nomination urge their supporters to get behind the nominee, whomever that happens to be.

6. No thanks.
Unity is for November. The Primaries between now and July are my time- your time, everyones' time to make our own issues heard. Kerry doesn't need my vote right now. Kucinich and my issues that he speaks to DO.

5. Thanks, BOSSHOG, for your reminder about Tuesday Southern primaries!
And General Wesley Clark is indeed, a fine man--who I fervently hope is on John Kerry's VP short list.
