Please fellow Dems.. stop the sniping. Any of our candidates are better than bushco or any of the repugs running. How about a little solidarity?

1. Being just a little better than absolute psychopaths is not good enough for many of us

2. I hope so. Caucus is a crazy system and I'd like my primary vote to count
even though I am not living on a farm.:shrug:
But I agree with your last remark.

4. 3rd man out is still the big loser
No matter who ties, whichever front runner comes in 3rd is in deep trouble.

The story is going to switch to First Place Candidate v Second Place Candidate. Unless someone like Biden breaks into the top 3, the third place finisher is going to be forgotten very soon.
