will donate to individual candidates directly. The bulk of my donations will go to primary candidates. My $ are extremely limited anyway. That way, I will know my $ won't be used on any third-way candidates. I hope the party apologists, third-wayers and such won't be butt-hurt. Eventually the party will figure out where their base is, and where the American people are as a whole. I hope it is sooner rather than later. It's getting pretty late as is.

MY concern is not to move us to the left...it's to keep us from lurching to the right...
