I do feel your pain. :) Maybe being in your late 50s (like me) does give you more patience. I don't know. Honestly though, as left as I am, I'm not going to be intellectually dishonest and say that progressives have EVER been a majority in this country. They haven't. But as left wing as I've ALWAYS been, I HAVE also always been a political pragmatist. And that's the way I look on this debate. Pragmatically. Primary the Hell out of center/right Dems, but I'd be willing to BET that the WORST Democrat in your state, is better than the BEST REpublican. If your guy loses the primary, I think you should vote Dem and try to unseat him in the NEXT primary. Keep on with that and EVENTUALLY you win as the CENTER gets pulled leftward.
