that come nomination time, supporters of rival candidates will be so bitter that they'll refuse to vote for the nominee?

1. Nope, we all fear Bush too much to pull a stunt like that. |

I don't doubt some will feel that way, but IMO most of us are too smart to ignore what's at stake

3. No, all primaries are ugly |
|
they always have been. Always will be. Look at the Republicans in 2000, it was pretty ugly between Bush and McCain, but once there's a candidate both parties generally rally together to beat the other.

4. No way. The spectre of Lame-Duck Bunnypants will pull us together |
|
The fact that his Imperium is the worst leadership (I cannot call it a pResidency because it isn't one) perhaps in the entire history of America.
People will pull together, at least the Dems will and more than a few Greens, to defeat Bunnypants* (if that is possible considering the Third World state of Amerikan voting systems).
That is my prediction.
It is also my ferverent hope.

1. ANY Dem candidate will improve on what we have now.
2. MOST DUers do NOT participate in the bashing threads. You have a false impression of most of the 30,000 plus people here.
Just my opinion as I sit here "undecided"...

7. A true democrat won't do that |
|
Ihave seen, though, some supporters of some candidates at DU say they won't support anyone but their guy.

I know I have felt that way at times. In fact, I feel that way often. About as often as his opponents distort my guy's record, attack and lie about him, which right now is on a daily basis. But when push comes to shove I'll vote ABB, no matter how big of a clothespin I need.

9. Most that I have talked to |
|
Know that our very future as a democracy is at stake in the next election. I think it will bring more people to the polls.
Which means that the candidates should employ many more poll-watchers to make sure that voters do not become disenfranchised or turned away by repub cronies.

I think our main objective here is to get the squatter out of Al Gore's house! ABB.

11. Nah. We'll ALL vote to oust Chimp-Boy |
|
And a rough primary actually plays into the nominees favor. Got to get used to this stuff before Rove gets going.

12. "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." - FDR |

I also am ABB, but I'm more worried that Florida's fiasco won't be limited to just Florida next time around... And I wonder if his approval rating is an utter fabrication. If it goes up around election time, and he gets elected with a higher approval rating, fewer people will question the outcome of the election.

the most bitter of all the candidates, said he'd gladly support the primary winner. There's nothing to worry about.
