Let us not lose sight of our objective
My first priority when it comes to politics is the good of the country.
My second priority is the Democratic Party, Because I believe that the principles championed by the Democratic Party will make this a better country.
My third priority is supporting an individual candidate, based on their positions and their viability.

We all need to keep this in mind. The WORST thing that could happen in November 08 is for a Republican to win the presidential election. If I need to list reasons why that is the worst outcome please stop reading and go back to the free republic website.

I will support the Democratic nominee, we all should regardless of our candidate preference. To not do so is to fail to carry out your obligation as a U.S. citizen. Will everyone please take a break from the "My candidate can win and your's can't" bullshit. Will everyone please take a break from running down either of the remaining candidates. We need to win this election in the Fall, if we do not the consequences will be felt for the remainder of our lives. We must win to turn this country away from the disastrous course that we (as a country) have followed since GWB was installed in 2001.

So, have a beer, take a deep breath and recalibrate to focus on winning in November. Do not let your support of your chosen candidate hurt the Party's chances in November.
