If am a passionate progressive ( I am not, but let us pretend), how do I decide which candidates to promote in the primaries? Each candidate I wish to support takes my limited time and resources, and time away from family and work. Even if I believe in good candidates, how do I not get fooled given there is already a long proven line of con artists? Should I look at someone's personal history to see how they stand out from others who let me down? (this is what I asked, dear reader, in all those comments previously)
