I admit, I've always been the "I'll vote for any Dem who's got the best shot of beating Bush (or whoever the Repub candidate is)", and feeling a need to apologize for that to my fellow idealists. I rarely have a practical bone in my body, but I seem to grow a few in the voting booth.
The SF Bay area was so pro-Nader last time, I suppose that's why I even felt the need to make apologies then. They are really pro-Dean this time around. I guess I am, too, but when the real election comes, I'll vote "against Bush". Because sometimes it's easier to know who you don't want than who you do.
