Reply #9: When people tell you your candidate is "unelectable" [View All]

[Rowdyboy]

just ignore them. That's the reason for primaries-to let the grassroots vote their hearts. There's nothing wrong with supporting a losing primary candidate. My personal record:

1) 1976 Fred Harris-lost the nomination
2) 1984 Gary Hart-lost the nomination
3) 1988 Al Gore-lost the nomination
4) 1992 Bill Clinton ****ding ding ding ding****
5) 2000 Al Gore (even a stopped clock is right twice a day)
6) 2004 Wes Clark (with my track record, he should be :scared: )

My point is, follow your instincts and vote in the primary for whoever inspires you most. And don't worry about what anyone thinks.
