Ever notice that with rare exception Democrats always get behind their candidate? Months into the worst presidency in American history, we still have dumbasses driving around with Ron Paul stickers on their cars and talking about "next time we need to do something". The primary is the time to pick your candidate; the general election is the time to get behind the enemy of your enemy.
In my own district, many people refused to support Jon Porter because of his socialist voting record. As a result, in November, he lost, and an even more staunch socialist took his seat. The time for picking the candidate you want is the primary. In November, unless you back the party nominee you will split the vote and guarantee that the other party will win.
I'm not a fan of McCain or Porter, but they are infinitely better than Ried or Obama.
Until we learn to stand together, we will die alone.
Democrats NEVER split the vote. That's why they control all three branches of government. If you don't have a good candidate, be the miracle and run yourself. If you find one you like, get behind him. I have canvassed, mostly for local offices, and although it may not be easy, if you bring one more person the day can be won. Most of these races are not won by 10-20% margins. A few hundred or a few thousand people can tip the scales.
That's what we can do. That's what we must do. The time is now.
