Can I get an amen?

Amen, Amen!
I think the reason we have the present situation is that this Democratic race has not been about ideas and mission. It has been about glitz and image. The MSM has been so absorbed with the idea that a man of color and a woman are actually running for president, that this is the only thing that matters. If Hillary and Barack were white guys, it would be a three way tie, with Edwards having the edge. It would be a contest of who has the best tactics to make change happen - Hillary and Barack with their “negotiating from strength” tactics versus John’s “kick their collective asses” tactics. Personally, I think nominating Barack will unleash racial hatred from the right in ways we have not seen since the sixties, with all the accompanying swiftboat tactics, and worse - far worse. I hope I am wrong, because the charisma that this man carries is truly reminiscent of JFK.
I can say I was a fan of Hillary’s - until I read her book. Then I realized she is a political opportunist like her husband - and they are truly masters at manipulating the political process. Unfortunately, they have both shown, for different reasons, that they cannot endure through a tough political battle.
John Edwards is the man for the job, but he does not have the qualities that the MSM likes - he is just a guy with good ideas and the guts to implement them, and that is not exciting enough for the pundits.

agreed w/ Barry! I will hang in there for Edwards as long as he wants my vote. I see him as the only candidate that will both kick ass and take names. It’s time to take back America for Americans not the CEOs.

Amen.

I’m already in for Edwards, which I suppose was borderline mandatory since I’m on the ballot as a delegate, and I still think he would be a great President.

As I’ve said many times, in many ways, I’ll vote for my crazy uncle before I vote for a Republican this year. And I usually vote third party as often as I can.

Not this time. I’m not happy with our two-party system, which is baseline divisive, but I’m stuck with it, and I’m smart enough to know we simply can’t afford any more of these criminal idiots in office for several election cycles to come.

It will be interesting and horrifying to watch if the Dems blow this one. Hide under your desk, go fetal, and kiss your country’s ass good-bye if that happens, and it might v. McCain The Media Annointed One.

Amen, I’m in it till the bitter end. Edwards has my support, my money and my vote. But I’m pissed and will remain pissed at the way his campaign has been frozen out over the past year by the media.

Agree. Edwards also has my support and vote. I’m from SC and am bewildered at the results from Saturday. My neighbor asked if I would vote for either Obama or Clinton this fall and I responded neither. I’ll write in Edwards before I’ll vote for either of them. I wish more people had the chance to hear him.
