JoB- I am a registered democrat, but I’m not a big fan of labels.
I supported John Kerry in the 2004 election, went door to door canvassing for him, raised money, donated money. I did not support him in the primary. I supported Wesley Clark, and donated a small amount of money to him. The primary was done before I got any say, but Kerry clearly won the nomination, and its pretty easy to get my vote if your the guy running against Bush.
I would not support the democratic party, in this election, or most likely in any future elections, if they chose to overturn the candidate selected by the pledged delegates. Most likely, my energy would be used to help the cause of a 3rd party candidate, but I would not rule out supporting the candidate most likely to beat the won who I believe betrayed my party of choice.
No, its not okay to campaign for the republican nominee, to “scorch the earth”, by “throwing out the kitchen sink”, in a “Tonya Harding strategy”, to get the supers to disqualify the person who won. To support people after they did that, would be a tremendous disservice to the party. Nominating a candidate that supported and voted to authorize the war that the Dems are supposed to be the opposition party for, also does a disservice to the party.

This does a good reasoning of why I did not support Hillary in the primaries before she got mathmetically eliminated from winning.

This does a good job explaining why I’d genuinely rather have John McCain in office then this lunatic…
