I've met and spoken with you in person. I've seen you refer to these events before, but never at this level of detail, and I appreciate it.

Elizabeth Dole met with your BIL, but Edwards didn't?

I'm a Clark partisan too, but I don't decieve myself that he's not a long shot to get the nomination. I could at this point easily and enthusiastically support Al Gore. I'm also getting more and more impressed with Obama, and could definitely see myself getting behind him.

My biggest issue is the war, and I would have a real problem getting behind anyone who supported the IWR, or thought the invasion of Iraq was a good idea. Eward's support for the war in the last primary was absolutely unequivocal, and his conversion to saying he regretted his vote struck me as very contrived. His recent statements do not show any consistency with his past statements, and he does not give any sense of what kind of personal growth or epiphanies he's gone through to bring about his change of heart. It doesn't have an authentic feel for me, though I acknowledge that I can't know what's in his heart.

Thank you for posting your personal story, as I find all such things very helpful in looking at potential candidates.:hi:
