And no "centrist" Dem is ever gonna make me apologize for it. Although my state wasn't in play. But even if it had been, I would not have regretted it. That Gore lost was Gore's fault alone (and, to be fair, that idiot Bob Shrum's), anything else is a bullshit argument. Nader should be commended for holding Democrats' feet to the fire and not letting them get away with being Republican Lite, corporatist, war-enabling hacks. Centrists and DLC:ers are killing the Democratic party, and if it takes some hard medicine for the party to wake up to that reality then so be it. I have a lot more hope for 2008 than I had for 2000, with both Gravel and Kucinich in the ring now. In 2004 I voted for David Cobb, but in 2008 I will vote for whomever the Democratic nominee is - except Hillary. If it's her I'll have no choice but to go Green again; I can NOT vote for her, and I'm not about to stay home and not exercise my right to vote. But I'm hoping it won't come to that. I can tolerate pretty much all the other candidates, but Gravel is my first choice and Kucinich my second.
