There is not one Democratic candidate who I would not support for president
Advertisements [?]
All this vitriol over one Democrat candidate or another is revolting. Sure there are some who I really like and others who I might have to hold my nose a bit when I pull the lever. But all these people who say "I would never vote for Hillary because she voted for the war," or "I won't vote for Edwards because he lives in a big house," or "Obama doesn't have enough experience" are just helping to put another Republican into the presidency.

We have a de facto two party system in America. It's not what I like, but it's what we have. There are two choices for president: a Democrat or a Republican. Either/or. There is no third choice. Protest vote? You're helping the Republicans. Anyone who says they cannot support the Democratic candidate is, in essence, helping to extend the policies of Bush. I, for one, would rather see my least favorite Democratic candidate as president than Giuliani, or McCain, or Romney, or whichever fascist the Republicans will put up in '08.

Yes, let's have a good clean debate over who to vote for in the primary. But let's do it based on the qualities of who you like rather than ripping the Democrat that you don't. When the primaries are over and the Democratic candidate is chosen, let's all get behind him or her and work together to take back the White House.
