(62,325 posts)to what people are saying. I worked for Kerry. But he was not my first, second or third choice BECAUSE he voted for Bush's war. That to me and to millions of other Dems demonstrated very bad judgement.
However, once he become the candidate, he got our support. I would have preferred Clark and or Dean, most of all, Kucinich, but none of those candidates we know now ever had a chance of being allowed close to the WH. We are only allowed to think we are making choices in the primaries.
The MONEY goes always to the choices of the Powerful. Which is why Kerry, Lieberman and Edwards, all establishment candidates, were being funded even as early as 2003 when Dean was the front runner. Had we known then what we know now, we would have known that front runner/people's choice, or not, Dean was never going to get the support of those that matter most, those with the money to put behind the candidates THEY choose.
