1. Electing somebody who cares about the same issues I care.

2. "Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone,

"Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost." John Quincy Adams

3. Beating the pukes so they cant pass any crazy ass legislation or seat any judges

I don't care if the dems get much done as long as the pukes never have any power

[Shrike47]

5. I fear I feel the same way.

[TheKentuckian]

6. Might be tolerable were we not in such nosedive and that too many nominal Democrats

share much of their agenda thinly disguised by different rhetoric for the same ends.

The problems are to treacherous and systemic to try to tread water, we will drown. The least risk is in ending the Reagan era, we are running out of time and the strength of the wealthy few waxes.

[Ken Burch]

7. Do you believe that "stopping the bad guys from doing their worst" is a sustainable political model?

If so, for how long?

[NightWatcher]

10. At the rate the teabaggers are ripping the gopers to shreds, we might be out of the woods in 4-6 yrs

Once the gop eats itself to death, we'll get to run Progressives against Centrist Dems without worrying about a nutjob squeaking in.

4. It's a continuum rather than a zero sum game

No politician will be exactly what I want but there is definitely certain things I expect from any potential candidate.

Bryant

[Warren DeMontague]

8. There is no option for "both"

And I'm not conceding that they're mutually exclusive.

[lumberjack_jeff]

9. Prior to the Democratic convention, option 2. After the convention, option 1. n/t

[NaturalHigh]

11. Economy. Economy. Economy...

and for everyone, not just a select few.

[mahina]

12. other- 2014

[Ken Burch]

13. I agree that 2014 matters, but you can't expect people to forget about 2016. n/t.

[Liberal_in_LA]

14. supreme court- want dem prez to fill any openings
