| 171. I wanted not only a candidate to beat Bush |
|
but a true progressive who would be able to reverse the rightward drift of this country and stand up strongly for core Democratic values. I wanted the true progressive that George McGovern said that he saw in Clark when he endorsed him. I trust and admire McGovern and took him very seriously when he said that he believed Wes to be a true progressive.
I also wanted someone who would really stand up to the Republicans and their radical agenda, call them out on it and not back down.
That's what I wanted in a candidate. Why, what did you want?
And no, I would not have supported McCain. I would not have even supported Lieberman.
