It seems counter-intuitive; even if your person didn't get the nomination, the progressive platform should be enough to earn your vote, right? It's a peril of the two-party system, that we have to support one, else our missed or written-in vote be the equivalent of a vote for the other. I don't dislike Obama, and I'd rather he won than McCain, so on the purely practical level I see the value in voting for him. But. Where's the choice when there really isn't a choice?
