83. They'd rather vote for a candidate with no chance of success

Edited on Fri Sep-28-07 02:17 PM by NYCALIZ

which is sort of what got us into this problem in 2000.
I guess being "principled" is more important than being "feasible" or "achieveable".

Social change is incremental.
You can be dead on accurate, but if no one will follow you and you don't implement anything, you can feel warm and fuzzy that you're on the moral high ground.

Its what keeps the anti-choice religious right fueled as well.
