>>Democrats have this Don Quixote thing where they pick their PERFECT candidate and all the pragmatics of politics be damned.<< RMF - I think the primary system is what it is, and Democratic party voters have made their choices over the years. That's how it works. I certainly find it difficult to think of Dukakis as having been nominated because he was someone's idea of a perfect candidate. Or Mondale, for that matter. Come to think of it, I don't think anyone could have called Kerry a perfect candidate, either. No, there was definitely some other standard working in those selection processes. - Allen
