Spring 2008 Progressive Primary

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Is this for the PLP or the Progressive Caucus?  If the latter, I am willing to participate.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

In any case, since it is not a party primary for a party I am not a member, I am willing to participate as both a voter and a candidate, though to be fair in general, I consider myself more centrist than leftist.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Given how I have done in the Progressive Primaries so far, I have decided to withdraw my candidacy for the Progressive nomination and urge those who might have supported me in the two remaining contests to instead vote uncommitted.

Wrong thread, Lewis, and while I enjoy rabbits, their carrot addiction is a myth.
