I agree with Louis that this is a better time to talk about electoral strategy than during the 2008 Presidential election season itself, when emotions are likely to run high. There are three main strategies I can see: 1) support the Democratic candidate, whoever she or he may be. 2) support some "third" party candidate on the political left. 3) eschew electoral politics (at least at the national level) because the system is totally biased against any change. (that's my position, as can be seen from the biased way I presented it.) -- Jim Devine Bust Big Brother Bush!
