Reply #47: That's the way I saw it, too [View All]

As an advocate for Kucinich, I would be rich today if I had a thousand dollars for everyone who told me, "I love Dennis's ideas, but I want to vote for someone who can win." That was the single most common comment I heard when trying to persuade people.

Voters were making their choice, not on the basis of their own beliefs, but on the basis of what they thought other people believed.

I'm sick of Dems whose greatest fear is offending the Republicans dissing the leftist Dems, Greens, and others who swallowed their distaste for Kerry's IWR vote and came out in record numbers to door knock and phone bank and do visibility work and attend rallies for him (at least in Minnesota).

If you keep this up, you're going to have to rely on your beloved swing voters to do all that work.
