cyrano: (Genius)
And maybe it's because I'm a patriarch in a patriarchal society, but I don't get the "Nobody But Clinton" schism in the Democratic Party. The last time we had a primary, Howard Dean failed to win. And, despite shoddy treatment from the party elite, a hack job from the media, and a lack of votes cast for Dean, I did not see a Deaniacs4Bush.com website nor a demand to assuage the rifts and gaping chasms in the party base. In fact, in *most* of the presidential primaries we have at least one candidate who doesn't win. It's an unfortunate side effect of having a candidate who wins. The winner is rarely my first choice, and often it's somebody that I can barely stomach. But that doesn't mean that I decide to throw my support to a candidate whose views are even further from my own.
