I take it you are assuming that because Kerry won the primaries, that all Democrats and independents are now magically lined up in lock step with the Democratic party's apparent nominee.

I think you are a bit premature, not to mention naive. The party has made absolutely no overtures to the Dean camp, or the Nader camp. If they don't do something to remedy that soon, they will have likely blown yet another presidential election, because everyone isn't lined up behind Kerry, period.

It doesn't matter how often or vociferously you keep trying to shout down the dissenters. You aren't changing our minds, and you most certainly are alienating your most reliable allies--but of course, you don't give a shit about us allies, you just want our votes, and then have us shut up and go away.
