18. How is he being a purist?
He says he will support whomever the party nominates, but wants to influence the platform and nominee's positions on the issues by supporting the primary candidate who represents his views on the issues.

You have a Dean avatar. Isn't that what the Dean people did in 2004? Dean was unambiguous on the most salient issue (the war), early on, when most others were deliberately ambiguous. That sent a message from the grassroots that moved others to more critical positions on the war. Early support for DK could do the same when our pols want to stake out ambiguous positions once again on key issues.
