38. Good point...what would they do then?
And how much credibility would their support have when it changes with the wind during / after a storm of primaries. It would have behooved them to FIRST find out which way the wind is blowing - waited until AFTER the primary storm to see who the nominee IS before endorsing or supporting anyone.

Their actions now are disingenuous because THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY AT LARGE have NOT chosen their nominee yet. For MoveOn to preliminarily choose to support/endorse one over the other just because that's the way THEIR members voted (their members are HARDLY the voice of all the Democrats in the country) cheapens the endorsement, and narrows considerably the function of their organization from a proponent of progressive ideas on the issues - to a proponent of one candidate over any other before EVERYONE ELSE has chosen.

:wtf:

It's a disappointment.
