Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT)...

“Senator Clinton has every right, but not a very good reason, to remain a candidate for as long as she wants to."

…but aren't there times when exercising a right is, well, wrong? I mean, Nader has a right to run, doesn't he? Do you really think he should? Isn't 'why' at least as important as 'whether'?

From the "Quitters never win" file.

Dave Johnson reminds the 'quit the Party' crowd...

...There is a problem with that thinking. Ralph Nader ran in 2000 to "send a message" to "the Democrats." It didn't send a message and got maybe half a million Iraqis killed. Maybe more.

The reason it did not "send a message" was that the Democratic Party is not a top-down organization. It is a bottom-up organization. IT IS US. You don't "send a message" to yourself, you ACT.
