If you vote for my guy if he wins, I'll vote for your guy if he wins.

[Monte Carlo]

There has been a great amount of bitterness in recently in the discussion threads in this forum. We seem divided and unfocused. We can talk about the better candidate all day long, but in the end, there is only room for one against George W. Bush in November. It is not going to be easy. His Administration is friendly with media corporations, and they have put most of the national news reporters into a deep sleep. The ones do speak out are harassed and threatened, and have their voices drowned out by talk radio, Fox News, and other team players.

Whoever wins the nomination needs a clear transmission of his message to the American public. We must give the candidate his microphone, and the best way to do that is through a unified base - that's us. The internet and DU are great tools to communicate and coordinate on a national level, and in order to use it most effectively, we must all be on the same page. I think the Dean campaign has shown how the internet WILL revolutionized politics in the 21st century, and for it, I have nothing but admiration and respect for him. The internet can transcend corporate commercial media, it can cut through the thickest static. The internet is the key to national political power, but first, we must use it TOGETHER!

How to do that? We could all agree to vote for the Democratic nominee against George W. Bush in November. I will personally vote for any candidate that wins the nod, even ol' Joe, and realize that in doing so, I have helped to improve my country, I did not stay home on election day, I did not yield to cynicism. You can be certain that the GOP will be rallying each and every vote it can muster to see that George W. Bush gets another four years in power. We should see our opportunity, and see that the whole is more than the sum of its parts.

1. I Agree!

I will support whoever the nomminee is! Lieberman is not that bad, especially after the last 4 years!

[funkyflathead]

2. I'm with you

Just get the Shrub out.

Lieberman NEVER would have signed that abortion ban.

3. It's a deal !

4. Thank you for a rational, sensible, post. Let's hope that most, if not all

of the posters on this board can agree. Anything else is crazy. Four more years of this guy and we won't have anything to vote for in 2008.

5. We don't have to like each other, or be thrilled about the candidate.

But we must realize that our enemy is George W. Bush, not Howard Dean, not Wesley Clark, not John Kerry, not any of those. We must focus our voting strategy, so it cuts like a knife.

[Monte Carlo]

6. Is it possible to vote for Kerry, but still like Dean?

Or Clark, or any permutation thereof? These endless flamewars, regardless of who started it, make all of our picks look bad.

7. Survivor: the Election Game

Simple enough ground rules, though Bush has immunity already we can wok together to vote him off.

8. Okay, I'm down.

9. ABB! Oh yeah! nt

10. I think any Democrat would at least bother to attend soldiers' funerals.

Unlike a certain Oval Office occupier who shall remain nameless.

11. I'm a DEMOCRAT.

A Socialist Democrat who votes Democrat.

[Syrinx]

12. I'm voting for the Dem regardless of what everyone else does

But it would be very cool, if we all did the same!

[RevolutionStartsNow]

13. I'm in!

I've said it before, I will vote for the Dem in 2004, no matter what. I can't believe that anyone would consider anything else (well, yes, I can believe it, after reading some things on this board...).

Beat Bush, that's the goal.

[DrFunkenstein]

14. Never!!!

I'll never vote for Bush!!! I'll even vote for Dick Cheney before Bush!!!

[Stupdworld]

15. confused

if my guy wins, how could you have voted for him?

or do i not get it?

my logical brain functions are shorted...

[LuminousX]

16. I'll not only vote for your guy, I'll stand in the rain to help elect him

We can't lose sight of the big picture -- getting rid of Bush.

[Meshuga]

17. Democrat all the way!

Any of the nine would get my vote!
