(22,000 posts)It seems like a large group of people have hopped on a certain bandwagon and stated only one person can win. I didn't buy that in 2008, and I still don't buy it.
I disagree with leaving the party. Check out what I wrote yesterday in a different thread. I think you might find it interesting:

Certainly you can't fight for changes sitting on the curb, which is what you are telling us you will do.
Despite what you may believe the next two Supreme Court nominees are going to be important. Go pick up both of Jeffery Toobin's books and read them. I hope after that you'd share in my disgust of the conservatives on the court. Issues like gay marriage, health care, abortion, guns, etc. are going to be in front of the court more frequently.
I supported Obama in both elections enthusiastically, but as I said in the thread I linked to he's not perfect.
My advice is to figure out who would be a good candidate and start a draft campaign. Better to be proactive than reactive.
