27. I'd def support Edwards.
What Hillary supporters don't get, even if she gets elected President, she's going to have a target on her back from the beginning, no 'honeymoon' period whatsoever. For some reason, Hillary is red meat to the right, and her ability to govern will be severely compromised.

I still like Obama. Sure he's sold out some, but he saw where people who don't compromise land, at 2% support, which sucks, but there it is. But it's becoming more clear he probably can't win-there are still too many people who won't vote for a black man, even if he was giving them $1000/month for life.

Edwards is the most pragmatic choice. I think he would do better in the South than Gore did, and he's got the Q factor that superficial Americans, who say they don't like superficiality, pick again and again. He's also got the least targets. When your opposition talks about your haircut, they've got nothing.

I'd love to see President Kucinich, but it ain't gonna happen, without the time-space continuum taking a major shift. However, if Hillary gets it, I'll back her all the way.
