30. So what happens
If Kerry cinches the nomination, goes in to the GE and ALL those people who didn't get to vote at all or did vote and are annoyed at the DNC for publicly calling the primaries over decides to vote 3rd party or not vote at all. What I am trying to say is not being absorbed. What I am saying is, it is risky at best to shut out 80% of your base then EXPECT them to do as they are told in the GE. We are living in very volatile times and the country is mad as hell. Kerry is currently only getting roughly under 50% of the vote in the primaries. Those are registered democrats/Independents in most states. If he can't get anymore than that in the GE because the DNC has pissed off the rest of it's base then we are toast in the GE. In essence, we will have defeated ourselves. And it amazes me that no one else is even thinking about this.
