Question for former "Stop Dean" and/or "Stop Clark" Democrats

Now that Kerry has suddenly (out of nowhere) become the frontrunner, do you find yourself more willing to support candidates you didn't necessarily like before (e.g., Dean, Clark, Edwards) in order to stop Kerry?

I'm not stop anybody

(alright I'll be annoyed if Dean wins, but will still support him)

and who's ahead doesn't matter to me. I support my candidate because I think they are the best for the job not because Iowans or New Hampsherites have already had the chance to decide who they wanted

3. Here's what I think...

Kerry would be on his knees practicing Bush fellatio if it weren't for the anti-war candidates.

The only reason the national debate bears any resemblance to reality now is because of them. Plus, the corporate media have made it clear their enemies are Dean and Clark.

For that reason, I am more open to supporting Clark.

Kerry is a sure loser due to his opposition to Gulf War I.

4. No

I already preferred any one of them to Kerry.

On edit: I never advocated a "stop anyone" philosophy and although I would prefer Clark to Kerry I wouldn't give the time of day to many of the people who "support" him on DU.

6. I was never like that in the first place.

Have some reasoning. You're acting like kid who takes his ball and goes home when he doesn't get his way.

It's still not over, right? So get your act together and support your guy the way you should. Give him some money. Go to rallies. Go have some fun with positive message about YOUR guy.

If you still find your guy trailing Kerry, maybe you should just accept that this country isn't ready for a raving lunatic persona and wants a more established leader at the helm.

We've had enough instability and negative news/agendas. Kerry/Edwards or Kerry/Clark would be GREAT!

7. Nope.

But I DO think the campaigns would be smart to work Kerry over more than they did this past week. They were o milquetoast, I thought they were all Daschle.
