Bravo, huh ? It won't get us the seat in November. Sadly, I've seen no particular evidence the lady's most diehard supporters want to win in November. They just wanted a coronation. They got it, and that's all they're ever going to get.
From what you wrote, it was the other 'viable candidate' that wanted coronation, not primary.
This from an ally of MoveOn.Org who wants the person elected in the primary election to step down so that someone too cowardly to run in the primary to be handed the nomination on a platter.
