Interestingly, at least half of them do and sadly they are all for W and his religious craziness. I mean those people have a big enough backbone. Sadly, the D's play to the middle, which is really all they can do to get elected. I know you disagree with that statement, but Kerry almost won by playing to the middle and some think he did win but the fraud came into play. So, implying the middle is unwinnable turf is incorrect.
To me, the far more interesting argument is how can the D's entice a truly "liberal" and winnable candidate. I suggest they cannot because the country hates abortion at will and gays asserting any rights - and the D candidate I assert must support those two positions, which means the American public will not elect them. Once again, the D's have no one to blame but themsleves for letting the religious zealots frame the issue this way. Ditto for the war in Iraq.
