The question is whether those who promise to protest against John 
Kerry after he gets elected will be campaigning for a candidate to 
the left of the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates in 
2008 or they will be resurrecting the arguments against Nader/Camejo 
2004 in 2008.  If the former, they may be called Anybody But Bush 
campaigners, and their support for the Democratic Party is limited to 
this election year; if the latter, they are indeed supporters of the 
Democratic Party, now and forever.
