Was anyone termed 'unelectable' in a previous Democratic presidential primary? I'm curious now. I know it was used against a Republican contender who was fighting Bob Dole for the nomination. Republicans preferred Alan Keyes... I think that's who it was... but voted for Dole in the primaries because they were under the impression he was more 'electable'. Bet they kicked themselves for that one for a while.

I think we are being manipulated, and it saddens me to see people so enthusiastically propogating such a base mindset. IMO if you participate and validate something, you are part of it. If you want change in the world, be it. I am being it. I am choosing my candidate based on more important things than height and hairstyle.
