Here's another view that you may find hard to swallow.

I am a firm believer in don't lose the good seeking the perfect. I also do not believe that ANY candidate will match our tastes and values perfectly. They are all human and they are their own persons and all of them have to compromise to succeed in the messy business of (little d) democratic politics. My goal is always to find someone who stands for as much of my own views as I can find, has integrity, and holds no public views that are important that I find repugnant or intolerable.

If you'd be willing to consider that, maybe you can still feel good about DK. If you can't, you have many fine other people to choose from. Give yourself credit for being a caring citizen.
