Let me state right off that until a Primary ballot without his name on it is handed to me I support Al Gore; nobody in the race even comes close to being as qualified as he is to try to repair the damage that has been done to my Country, it's standing in the world and it's Government.
That said, I don't know if Al will enter the race or not, so I will need a fallback position in case I get that incomplete ballot I fear. Supporters of the top three Democrats, Clinton, Obama and Edwards are all passionate about "their" choices, and try hard here at DailyKos (and elsewhere) to sway Democrats. I wish to offer these partisans some simple advice about getting their Candidate my Primary vote if Al isn't an option...
Don't tell me why I should vote against the other guy, I'm not a wingnut. Expend your efforts in telling me why I should vote for your Candidate. I vote against Republicans, and will vote for the Democratic nominee, whoever that is. If you want my vote in the Primary quit slinging mud and give me reasons to vote FOR.
