46. Re:

"electable versus purist"

Do i have to repeat what happened with McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis and Kerry??? Both were too left of the center, romney lost last year because he went too far right. I want a candidate that can win not a won that fits my progressive beliefs. Otherwise the guys i just mentioned would of won, but they didn't.

Also had it not been for Bill's scandal then gore would of won florida and new hampshire quite easily. So imagine if the economy doesn't improve enough for most americans by the next four years. Then it would be extremely harder for another democrat to win in 2016. And Hillary can hold a republican surge. Everybody else is DOA. Please truthfully tell me if you think People like sanders(he won't even be running as a democrat), o'malley, biden, cuomo, warren, etc etc. Will have a coattail effect to win the senate and the house??? Especially the south??? Or do you want a candidate that barely wins the election and lets the republicans win the senate along with more republican house members because the dems decided to put in a weak candidate because one faction wanted a pure candidate instead of a one with broad based *cough* hillary *cough*???
