The main problem, IMO, is the mainstream and "practical" sorts of people, or the "Anybody But Bush" contingent, are limiting their horizons to a new president. Period. They aren't willing to lock under the Kerry rock, to examine how we got Bush in office to begin with--they just want Bush out and a Democrat--any damn Democrat will do--in.

The rest of us, whether we are supporting Nader, or whether we are Dean, Kucininch, Mosley Braun, or Edwards supporters who are still undecided as to the best way to move forward now that Kerry has the nomination sewn up, are being villified by the "Anybody But Dean" camp for not jumping on the Kerry bandwagon RIGHT NOW.

Which will, of course, blow up in the "Anybody But Dean" movement's faces. Guaranteed. Anytime you have one really moralistic group of people trying to dictate to the rest of us what we "should" do, you are steering the ship straight into the reef.
