What is 'legitimate'?

Democracy *tells* you who has legitimacy... not the otherway around.

(It would be hypocritical to go around saying we are unabashedly 'for' the wonders of Democracy, and then try to ban candidates from the ballot in Iraq or in Palestine, or anywhere else.)

It's OK to say we DON'T LIKE certain candidates, or certain Parties, but that's not the same as trying to restrict Democracy.
