188. well
I could see making such a decision if you actually could have any bearing on the outcome of the race in Florida.

Since that ain't gonna happen, the next position should be one that steers toward making sure that the principles of being a democrat are upheld, and in taking a longer range view.

Long range is that Meek is going to be around for a long time. And in recognizing that he is more like us than Crist will ever be. So support for him should be a no-brainer.

The support for the 'viable' candidate, Crist, undermines our principles as democrats. And has caused a great divide here as evidenced by the angst of many members over the allowance of this Crist support.

This is no time for fence sitting, and yall have frequently taken sides time and again on issues.

Your decision here and now leaves much to be desired.

The easy decision, were it mine, would be to stick with our kind of candidates through thick or thin. Til death do us part, as it were.
