15. We have three years to figure out who is our "one real chance"
but I think you are wrong in your assumption that Democrats would prefer a "full" democrat. Kucinich didn't do very well in the primaries, and wasn't a favorite on DU. Most DUers, like myself, supported Clark, even though he has voted for several republican presidents. Right now, according to every scientific poll that I have seen, most democrats support Clinton in the primaries, is she the "fullest" democrat?

A lot of things effect the way someone votes, and I don't think democrats are all looking for your definition of a "full" democrat.

Further, our dem candidate needs to do more than just appeal to democrats, since they only make up about 37% of the vote. I am not saying that we need a centrist, but we do need to think about what will influence an independent or casual voter's vote.
